Individual film directors, film-makers; Autobiography: arts & entertainment

Chosen as one of Sight & Sound's 'Best Film Books of the Year'

John Boorman is one of the cinema's authentic visionaries, drawn to myths and dreams. The undisputed heir to David Lean, his films, such as Point Blank, Deliverance and Excalibur, exhibit a continual search for the truth that only art can convey.

In Conclusions Boorman summarises what he has learned about the craft of film-making, and wishes to pass on to the next generation of film-makers. Into this tapestry of cinematic memories, he also weaves the story of his kith and kin, including the death of his cherished elder daughter, and an evocation of the forest of trees that he has planted as his final legacy.

Reviews for Conclusions

Delightful, wry, human and elegiacally thoughtful book. -- Financial Times Boorman may be the most inspired and wayward of English directors since Michael Powell. -- London Review of Books
