William Richert

William Richert, a bold, brash, and uncompromising figure, emerged on the Hollywood scene towards the end of the 1970s, initially as a screenwriter and subsequently as the director of the captivating conspiracy film Winter Kills. This critical triumph, though initially abandoned by its studio, served as a harbinger for Richert's subsequent career, marked by a distinctive quartet of original and idiosyncratic American feature films. Despite being shrouded in obscurity due to poor distribution and the proliferation of unauthorized versions, these films have maintained a peculiar, almost clandestine existence.
