'''Gus Green Van Sant Jr.'''<ref name="filmr"/> (born July 24, 1952) is an American filmmaker, photographer, painter, and musician who has earned acclaim as an [[independent film|independent]] filmmaker. His films typically deal with themes of marginalized [[subculture]]s.

His early career was devoted to directing television commercials in the [[Pacific Northwest]]. He made his feature-length directorial debut film ''[[Mala Noche]]'' (1985). His second film, ''[[Drugstore Cowboy]]'' (1989), was highly acclaimed, and earned him screenwriting awards from the [[Los Angeles Film Critics Association]] and [[New York Film Critics Circle]] and the award for Best Director from the [[National Society of Film Critics]]. His next film, ''[[My Own Private Idaho]]'' (1991), was similarly praised, as were the [[black comedy]] ''[[To Die For]]'' (1995), the drama ''[[Good Will Hunting]]'' (1997), and the biographical film ''[[Milk (2008 American film)|Milk]]'' (2008); for the latter two, Van Sant was nominated for the [[Academy Award for Best Director]] and both films received [[Academy Award for Best Picture|Best Picture]] nominations.

In 2003, Van Sant's film based on the [[Columbine High School massacre]], ''[[Elephant (2003 film)|Elephant]]'', won the [[Palme d'Or]] at the [[2003 Cannes Film Festival|Cannes Film Festival]].<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YmziMiTcVek The Indie Filmmaking Genius of Gus Van Sant | The VICE Guide To Film - VICE on YouTube]</ref> Van Sant also received the festival's [[Best Director Award (Cannes Film Festival)|Best Director Award]] that same year, making him one of only two filmmakers—the other being [[Coen brothers|Joel Coen]]—to win both accolades at the festival in the same year.<ref name="cannes-2003.com">{{cite web |url=http://www.festival-cannes.com/en/archives/ficheFilm/id/4071982/year/2003.html |title=Festival de Cannes: Elephant |access-date=November 5, 2009|work=festival-cannes.com}}</ref> Though most of Van Sant's other films received favorable reviews, such as ''[[Finding Forrester]]'' (2000) and ''[[Paranoid Park (film)|Paranoid Park]]'' (2007), some of his efforts, such as the [[art film|art house production]] ''[[Last Days (2005 film)|Last Days]]'' (2005) and the environmental drama ''[[Promised Land (2012 film)|Promised Land]]'' (2012), have received more mixed reviews from critics, while his [[Even Cowgirls Get the Blues (film)|adaptation]] of [[Tom Robbins]]'s ''[[Even Cowgirls Get the Blues (film)|Even Cowgirls Get the Blues]]'' (1993), his [[Psycho (1998 film)|1998 remake]] of [[Alfred Hitchcock]]'s ''[[Psycho (1960 film)|Psycho]]'', and ''[[The Sea of Trees]]'' (2015), were critical and commercial failures.

Van Sant wrote the screenplays for several of his earlier works, and is the author of a novel, [[Pink (Van Sant Novel)|''Pink'']].<ref>Gus Van Sant, ''Pink'', Faber & Faber, 1998, {{ISBN|0-385-49353-3}}</ref> A book of his photography, ''108 Portraits'',<ref>Gus Van Sant, ''108 Portraits'', Twin Palms Pub., 1993, {{ISBN|0-944092-22-5}}</ref> has been published, and he has released two musical albums.

He lives in the [[Los Feliz, Los Angeles|Los Feliz]] section of [[Los Angeles|Los Angeles, California]].<ref>{{cite web|url = http://gaylife.about.com/cs/gaythemedmovies/a/gusvansant.htm|title = Interview with Openly Gay Filmmaker Gus Van Sant|website = [[About.com]]|date = November 11, 2015|last = Brandao|first = Rodrigo|url-status = dead|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20160813164931/http://gaylife.about.com/cs/gaythemedmovies/a/gusvansant.htm|archive-date = August 13, 2016}}</ref>

==Early life==
Van Sant was born and raised in [[Louisville, Kentucky]], the son of Betty (née Seay) and Gus Green Van Sant Sr. The younger Gus' father was a clothing manufacturer and traveling salesman,<ref name="filmr">{{cite web |title=Gus Van Sant Biography (1952?-) |url=http://www.filmreference.com/film/20/Gus-Van-Sant.html |work=film reference |publisher=Advameg, Inc |access-date=August 15, 2012 |author=film reference |year=2012}}</ref> who rapidly worked his way into middle class prosperity, holding executive marketing positions that included being president of the [[White Stag (clothing)|White Stag Manufacturing Company]]'s apparel operation.<ref name=changes-white-stag>{{cite news |title=Changes in Management Disclosed by White Stag |newspaper=[[The Oregonian]]|date=December 5, 1969 |location=Portland, Oregon |at=Section 1, p. 39}}</ref> As a result of his father's job, the family moved continually during his childhood.

Gus Van Sant's paternal family is of partial Dutch origin; the name "Van Sant" is derived from the Dutch name "[[van (Dutch)|''Van Zandt'']]". The earliest Van Zandt arrived in the [[New Netherland]] area in the early 17th century, around what is now [[New York City]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.newnetherlandinstitute.org/history-and-heritage/dutch_americans/gus-green-van-sant-jr/|title = Gus Green van Sant, Jr}}</ref>

Van Sant is an alumnus of [[Darien High School]] in [[Darien, Connecticut]],<ref>{{cite web|title=Darien High School|url=http://www.publicschoolreview.com/school_ov/school_id/15519|work=Public School Review|access-date=September 24, 2012|year=2003–2012}}</ref> and [[The Catlin Gabel School]] in [[Portland, Oregon]].<ref>{{cite web|title=Gus Van Sant- Biography|url=https://movies.yahoo.com/person/gus-van-sant/biography.html|work=Yahoo! Movies|publisher=Yahoo!, Inc|access-date=September 24, 2012|year=2012}}</ref> One constant in the director's early years was his interest in visual arts (namely, painting and [[Super-8]] filmmaking); while still in school he began making semi-autobiographical shorts costing between 30 and 50 dollars. Van Sant's artistic leanings took him to the [[Rhode Island School of Design]] in 1970, where his introduction to various avant-garde directors inspired him to change his major from painting to cinema.<ref>{{cite news|last1=Marx|first1=Rebecca Flint|title=Gus van Sant Biography|url=https://www.nytimes.com/movies/person/1548269/Gus-van-Sant/biography|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150724213558/http://www.nytimes.com/movies/person/1548269/Gus-van-Sant/biography|url-status=dead|department=Movies & TV Dept.|work=[[The New York Times]]|date=2015|archive-date=July 24, 2015}}</ref>

==Career==
===1982–1989: Early career===
After spending time in Europe, Van Sant went to [[Los Angeles]] in 1976.<ref>{{cite news| url=https://movies.nytimes.com/person/1548269/Gus-van-Sant/biography | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081201121941/http://movies.nytimes.com/person/1548269/Gus-van-Sant/biography | url-status=dead | archive-date=December 1, 2008 | department=Movies & TV Dept. | work=[[The New York Times]] | author=Rebecca Flint Marx | title=Gus van Sant}}</ref> He secured a job as a production assistant to filmmaker [[Ken Shapiro]], with whom he developed a few ideas, none of which came to fruition. In 1981, Van Sant made ''Alice in Hollywood'', a film about a naïve young actress who goes to Hollywood and abandons her ideals. It was never released. During this period, Van Sant began to spend time observing the denizens of the more down-and-out sections of [[Hollywood Boulevard]]. He became fascinated by the existence of this marginalized section of L.A.'s population, especially in context with the more ordinary, prosperous world that surrounded them. Van Sant would repeatedly focus his work on those existing on society's fringes, making his feature film [[directorial debut]] ''[[Mala Noche]]''.

It was made two years after Van Sant went to New York to work in an advertising agency. He saved $20,000 during his tenure there, enabling him to finance the majority of his tale of doomed love between a gay liquor store clerk and a Mexican immigrant. The film, which was taken from Portland street writer [[Walt Curtis]]' semi-autobiographical novella, featured some of the director's hallmarks, notably an unfulfilled romanticism, a dry sense of the absurd, and the refusal to treat homosexuality as something deserving of judgment. Unlike many gay filmmakers, Van Sant—who had long been openly gay—declined to use same-sex relationships as fodder for overtly political statements, although such relationships would frequently appear in his films.

Shot in black-and-white, the film earned Van Sant almost overnight acclaim on the festival circuit, with the ''Los Angeles Times'' naming it the year's best [[independent film]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.biography.com/people/gus-van-sant-411096 |title=Gus Van Sant : Biography |publisher=Biography.com |access-date=August 4, 2014}}</ref> The film's success attracted Hollywood interest, and Van Sant was briefly courted by [[Universal Studios|Universal]]; the courtship ended after Van Sant pitched a series of project ideas (including what would become ''[[Drugstore Cowboy]]'' and ''[[My Own Private Idaho]]'') that the studio declined to take interest in.

Van Sant returned to Portland, Oregon, where he set up house and began giving life to the ideas rejected by Universal. He directed ''Drugstore Cowboy'' about four drug addicts robbing pharmacies to support their habit. The film met with great critical success and revived the career of [[Matt Dillon]].

===1990–1995: Indie and arthouse success===
''Drugstore Cowboy'''s exploration of the lives of those living on society's outer fringes, as well as its Portland setting, were mirrored in Van Sant's next effort, the similarly acclaimed ''[[My Own Private Idaho]]'' (1991). Only with the success of ''Cowboy'' was Van Sant now given license to make ''Idaho'' (a film he had originally pitched that was knocked back several times because the studios deemed the script 'too risky'). [[New Line Cinema]] now gave Van Sant the green light, and he went on a mission to get the ''Idaho'' script into the hands of [[River Phoenix]] and [[Keanu Reeves]], his preferred choice for the two young leads. After months of struggle with agents and managers over the content of the script, Van Sant finally secured Phoenix and Reeves, who played the roles of Mike Waters and Scott Favor, respectively.

Centering on the dealings of two male hustlers (played by Phoenix and Reeves), the film was a compelling examination of unrequited love, alienation and the concept of family (a concept Van Sant repeatedly explores in his films). The film won him an [[Independent Spirit Award]] for his screenplay (he had won the same award for his ''[[Drugstore Cowboy]]'' screenplay), as well as greater prestige. The film gained River Phoenix best actor honors at the [[Venice Film Festival]] among others. It helped Reeves—previously best known for his work in the ''[[Bill and Ted]]'' movies—to get the critical respect that had eluded him.

Van Sant's next film, a 1993 [[Even Cowgirls Get the Blues (film)|adaptation]] of [[Tom Robbins]]' ''[[Even Cowgirls Get the Blues (novel)|Even Cowgirls Get the Blues]]'', was an excessive flop, both commercially and critically. Featuring an unusually large budget (for Van Sant, at least) of $8.5&nbsp;million and a large, eclectic cast including [[Uma Thurman]], [[John Hurt]], Keanu Reeves and a newcomer in the form of River Phoenix's younger sister [[Rain Phoenix|Rain]] (at Phoenix's suggestion), the film was worked and then reworked, but the finished product nonetheless resulted in something approaching a significant disaster.

Van Sant's 1995 film ''[[To Die For]]'' helped to restore his luster. An adaptation of [[Joyce Maynard]]'s novel, the [[black comedy]] starred [[Nicole Kidman]] as a murderously ambitious weather girl; it also stars [[Matt Dillon]] as her hapless husband and, the third Phoenix sibling in as many projects, [[Joaquin Phoenix]], as her equally hapless lover (River had died of a drug overdose a year and half earlier). It was Van Sant's first effort for a major studio ([[Columbia Pictures|Columbia]]), and its success paved the way for further projects of the director's choosing. The same year, he served as executive producer for [[Larry Clark]]'s ''[[Kids (film)|Kids]]''; it was a fitting assignment, due to both the film's subject matter and the fact that Clark's photographs of junkies had served as reference points for Van Sant's ''Drugstore Cowboy''.

===1997–2003: Mainstream breakout===
In 1997, Van Sant gained mainstream recognition and critical acclaim thanks to ''[[Good Will Hunting]]'', which was written by [[Matt Damon]] and [[Ben Affleck]]. The film, about a troubled, blue-collar mathematical genius, was a huge critical and commercial success. It was nominated for nine [[Academy Award]]s, including Best Director for Van Sant. It won two, including Best Screenplay for Damon and Affleck, and Best Supporting Actor Oscar for [[Robin Williams]], who, in his acceptance speech, referred to Van Sant as "being so subtle you're almost subliminal."<ref>Archived at [https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211211/q6Egi5V_jNU Ghostarchive]{{cbignore}} and the [https://web.archive.org/web/20100302192808/http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q6Egi5V_jNU Wayback Machine]{{cbignore}}: {{Cite web|date=January 4, 2010|title=Robin Williams Wins Supporting Actor: Oscars 1998|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q6Egi5V_jNU|access-date=July 1, 2020|website=YouTube}}{{cbignore}}</ref> Van Sant, Damon and Affleck parodied themselves and the film's success in [[Kevin Smith]]'s'' [[Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back]].''<ref>Archived at [https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211211/nnESedN4vSI Ghostarchive]{{cbignore}} and the [https://web.archive.org/web/20130227074314/http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nnESedN4vSI&gl=US&hl=en Wayback Machine]{{cbignore}}: {{Cite web|title=Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back (9/12) Movie CLIP - Good Will Hunting 2: Hunting Season (2001) HD|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nnESedN4vSI|website=YouTube}}{{cbignore}}</ref>

Van Sant received the opportunity to [[Psycho (1998 film)|remake]] [[Alfred Hitchcock]]'s classic ''[[Psycho (1960 film)|Psycho]]''. As opposed to reinterpreting the 1960 film, Van Sant opted to recreate the film shot-for-shot, in color, with a cast of young Hollywood A-listers. His decision was met with equal parts curiosity, skepticism, and derision from industry insiders and outsiders alike, and the finished result met with a similar reception. It starred [[Anne Heche]], [[Vince Vaughn]] and [[Julianne Moore]], and met with a negative critical reception and did [[Box-office bomb|poorly at the box office]].

In 2000, Van Sant directed ''[[Finding Forrester]]'', about a high-school student ([[Rob Brown (actor)|Rob Brown]]) from [[the Bronx]] unlikely becoming a friend of a crusty, reclusive author ([[Sean Connery]]). Critical response was generally positive<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/finding_forrester/|title=Finding Forrester|date=December 19, 2000 |publisher=[[Rotten Tomatoes]]|access-date=December 6, 2010}}</ref> and became a box office success. In addition to directing, he devoted considerable energy to releasing two albums and publishing a novel, ''[[Pink (Van Sant novel)|Pink]]'', which was a thinly veiled exploration of his grief over River Phoenix's death.{{citation needed|date=September 2015}}

===2003–present: Return to arthouse cinema===
[[File:Don't Worry, He Won't Get Far on Foot - Press Conference.jpg|thumb|Van Sant and [[Joaquin Phoenix]] at the press conference of ''[[Don't Worry, He Won't Get Far on Foot]]'' (Berlin Film Festival 2018)|left]]
Van Sant traveled to the deserts of [[Argentina]], [[Utah]], and [[Death Valley]] for the production of 2002's ''[[Gerry (2002 film)|Gerry]]'', a loosely devised, largely improvised feature in which stars Matt Damon and [[Casey Affleck]]—both playing characters named Gerry—wander through the desert, discussing ''[[Wheel of Fortune (US game show)|Wheel of Fortune]]'', video games, and nothing in particular. The film premiered at the [[Sundance Film Festival]].

It took ''Gerry'' over a year to make it to theaters, in which time Van Sant began production on his next film, ''[[Elephant (2003 film)|Elephant]]''. Approached by [[HBO]] and producer [[Diane Keaton]] to craft a fictional film based on the 1999 [[Columbine High School massacre]], the director chose to shoot in his hometown of Portland, employing dozens of untrained, teen actors. Melding improvisational long takes like those in ''Gerry'' with [[Harris Savides]]' fluid camerawork, the film was influenced by Alan Clarke's 1989 film of the same name (see ''[[Elephant (1989 film)|Elephant]]''). The finished film provoked strong reactions from audiences at the [[2003 Cannes Film Festival]]. At the [[Cannes]] festival, the jury awarded ''Elephant'' with their top prize, the [[Palme d'Or]], and Van Sant with his first Best Director statue from the festival.<ref name="cannes-2003.com" />

{{Anchor|Death Trilogy}}In 2005, Van Sant released ''[[Last Days (2005 film)|Last Days]]'', the final component of what he refers to as his "Death Trilogy", (the other parts being ''Gerry'' and ''Elephant''). It is a fictionalized account of what happened to [[Nirvana (band)|Nirvana]] frontman [[Kurt Cobain]] in the days leading up to his death. In 2006, Van Sant began work on ''[[Paranoid Park (film)|Paranoid Park]]'' based on the book by [[Blake Nelson]], about a skateboarding teenager who accidentally causes someone's death. The film was released in Europe in February 2008. He also directed the "Le Marais" segment of the omnibus film ''[[Paris, je t'aime]]''.

Released in 2008, Van Sant's ''[[Milk (2008 American film)|Milk]]'' is a biopic of [[openly gay]] San Francisco politician [[Harvey Milk]], who was assassinated in 1978. The film received eight [[Academy Award|Oscar]] nominations at the [[81st Academy Awards]], including [[Academy Award for Best Picture|Best Picture]], winning two for [[Academy Award for Best Actor|Best Actor in a Leading Role]] for [[Sean Penn]], who starred as Milk, and [[Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay|Best Original Screenplay]] for writer [[Dustin Lance Black]].
