Produktbeschreibung

Conversations with the brilliant cult writer and director of Withnail and I, Bruce Robinson
___________________
'It's alive with Robinson's voice ... he is fully engaged, driven by an endless compulsion to entertain: his conversation is a work of art' GUARDIAN

'Intelligent, honest and pungently expressed, the recollections of Bruce Robinson are a treat' INDEPENDENT
___________________
'I've sometimes thought in the dead of night, "Look at your life, Bruce, rip out the writing, and with all these boiling frustrations and opinions what would you be?" I'd be in trouble, wouldn't I? Or I'd be in jail...'

Hard-talking, boisterous, frank and forthright, Bruce Robinson reveals to Alistair Owen the truth about his work and life in a series of exclusive interviews. Talking candidly about his entire career; his acting, writing and directing, and the many tussles he has faced with Hollywood moguls, this is Bruce Robinson as you've never seen or heard him before.
