Harold Pinter
"Boorman is one of the world's great directors, a master storyteller."
Paul Auster
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
