Life and career
Cattaneo was brought up in Twickenham, London. His father was a London-born animator of Italian descent.[3] After attending London College of Printing for an art foundation course, and Leeds Polytechnic for a BA in Graphic Design (Film), he graduated from the Royal College of Art in 1989, he was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Live Action Short Film for Dear Rosie (1990). He went on to make his feature film debut with The Full Monty (1997), which was a smash success both in the UK and internationally.[4] The comedy grossed £160,049,344 at the box office on a £3 million budget and Cattaneo received a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Director.
Cattaneo has since directed several films, including Lucky Break (2001), Opal Dream (2006) and The Rocker (2008). He has also directed a multitude of commercials,[5] as well as every episode of the award-winning comedy television series Rev. for BBC Two.
