Jordi Costa, a native of Barcelona, born in 1966, is a multifaceted individual with a passion for the world of cinema. As a film critic, he has earned a reputation among Spanish cinephiles for his incisive writing and insightful perspectives on popular culture. His literary output is equally diverse, spanning a range of subjects that showcase his intellectual curiosity and broad interests. He has penned books about a variety of topics, including Todd Solondz, a prominent American filmmaker, and the complex and often controversial subject of pornography.
In addition to his written work, Jordi Costa has also dabbled in filmmaking, albeit on a small scale. His low-budget, amateur films demonstrate a carefree approach that is reminiscent of the hedonistic pleasures of cinema. These films are heavily influenced by Italian culture of the past century, as well as the works of renowned filmmakers like Jess Franco, a Spanish horror and erotic film director.
