Product Description
David Thomson, The Independent on Sunday
'A quite remarkable, heartbreaking book… Makes you sit up and start reading… A model of how to write film history.'

Nick Roddick, Sight and Sound
'If there is a better book about British television in the 70s and 80s, I have yet to read it.'

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant biography of a seminal yet overlooked genius, 22 May 2000
By gomulkam@yahoo.co.uk (London, England) - See all my reviews
Alan Clarke was a major force in film. His work was uncompromising in its examination of the ordinary. Although not a name that would spring to most lips if asked to name great British directors, the body of work impresses at the slightest review. It is therefore important that his name and achievements be kept alive on our bookshelves as well as in the archives of the BBC (the very corporation which banned "Scum", Clarke's borstal masterpeice, and so forced him to seek artistic freedom on the bigger screen). Richard Kelly's book uses an unusual format to present Clarke as remembered by friends, colleagues and cotemporaries. The book is a conversation. Kelly manipulates the material from over 200 interviews into an easy-flowing chain of perspective. There is no, and no need for, an authourial voice, so brilliant are the interviews woven together to provide a seamless, complex narrative of a life. Truly a book worthy of its subject.
