Adrian Lyne (born 4 March 1941)[1] is an English film director. In the mid 1970s, he directed television commercials for DIM Lingerie (France).

Lyne's career in feature length films began in 1980 with Foxes (1980 film).

Lyne is known for sexually charged narratives, conflicting passions, the power of seduction, moral ambiguity, betrayal, and the indelibility of infidelity.

Lyne has crafted a recognizable visual style that borrows from Sven Nykvist but is not reductive. The grain is richly pigmented in suffused duotones lit from the heavens. Stark monochrome yields to gloaming amber, each frame an oil painted microcosm.[2][3]

He is best known for directing Flashdance, 9½ Weeks, Fatal Attraction, Jacob's Ladder, Indecent Proposal, Lolita, and Unfaithful. Lyne received a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Director.[4]
