Alejandro de la Iglesia Mendoza, more known as Ãlex de la Iglesia is a Spanish film director, screenwriter, producer and former comic book artist.
De la Iglesia's films combines grotesque and very dark elements such as death and murder: most of his work is considered dark comedies, but are also often considered to have horror and/or drama elements. All his films, with the notable exceptions of The Last Circus and As Luck Would Have It, were written together with Jorge GuerricaechevarrÃa.
De la Iglesia was revealed by Pedro Almodóvar who produced his first feature film Acción mutante in 1993. For his following film, The Day of the Beast, he won the Goya Award for Best Director.
