Biography

Marian Dora is the pseudonym of an anonymous German filmmaker known for taking on nearly every role in his productions. His name is an anagram of his real one, and he sometimes uses other aliases. Dora is heavily influenced by 1970s European cinema, particularly the works of Italian directors like Gualtiero Jacopetti, Ruggero Deodato, and Sergio Martino, as well as composers such as Riz Ortolani and Ennio Morricone. His films often reference European literary figures like Goethe, Nietzsche, and the Marquis de Sade.
