Conclusions

Boorman, John, 1933-2020
Books
John Boorman is one of cinema's authentic visionaries whose travels have taken him from London in the Blitz to the pinnacle of Hollywood success: the man behind films such as 'Point Blank', 'Deliverance', 'Excalibur', 'Hope and Glory', and 'The General'. 'Conclusions' continues the story of his life that Boorman began with 'Adventures of a Suburban Boy' and shares what has happened since its publication: films made (such as the award-winning 'The General') and unmade; new knowledge about the craft of film-making; and, ultimately, the story of his kith and kin, including the death of his cherished elder daughter. Wielding a metaphorical Excalibur, Boorman's career has been a continual search for the truth that only art can convey, and this memoir shows him at his finest.
