When Donald Cammell, the Scottish painter, filmmaker and novelist, committed suicide in 1996, he left behind a handful of unusual, innovative, frequently disturbing films. One of them - Mick Jagger's acting debut Performance - is now an acknowledged masterpiece of world cinema. Donald Cammell's extraordinary life was shrouded in both mystery and legend. In this provocative and comprehensive biography, Sam and Rebecca Umland explore Cammell's remarkable life and times, from his father's friendship with the notorious Aleister Crowley, to Donald's early career as a society portrait painter in Chelsea and the beginning of his film career in Paris during the 'Swinging Sixties', via numerous doomed collaborations with Marlon Brando, to his final years of frustration and ultimate tragedy in Hollywood. In an effort to account for his wasted genius, the authors scrutinize revealing patterns in Cammell's life that help to unlock the enigma of his death. As well as comprehensive chapters dealing with each of Cammell's films, the book includes a complete, authoritative filmography of the work of Donald Cammell, including full credits for each of his films (with a detailed discussion of the cuts made to Performance prior to its release) the unfinished films, and films in which he appeared, including rare footage. Illustrated with many examples of Cammell's work as an artist, plus rare and previously unpublished photographs, and 32 stunning pages of full colour poster reproductions and film stills, this book sheds startling new light on one of Great Britain's most fascinating filmmakers. 304 Pages   Product 20 of 41 in category BOOKS/MAGAZINES   Customers who bought this product also purchased LE TRIO INFERNAL [LIMITED EDITION] ARAF CUJO: 25TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION SNAKE WOMAN'S CURSE CONTAMINATIONS: GUIDE TO ITALIAN SCIENCE FICTION/FANTASY MOVIES OF THE '80S [BOOK] THE AWAKENING   Saturday 21 November, 2009   Xploited Cinema   -  1305 W. 80th St. - Suite 2B / #2 - Cleveland, OH 44102 -  USA Contact Us Copyright © 2003 osCommerce Powered by osCommerce
