In this wide-ranging, stylish and iconoclastic book, the acclaimed
Belfast filmmaker and BBC author Mark Cousins reflects on his
prolific career in documentary-making, meditating on the
philosophers, writers, actors and films that have influenced him.
From recollections of his childhood in Belfast to practical
filmmaking advice for new directors, to the complexities of
representing trauma on screen, this is a book that will captivate
any readers interested in contemporary film and the history of
cinema. Cousins’ essays are in conversation with iconic artistic
figures, particularly Pier Paolo Pasolini, an Italian poet,
filmmaker, writer and intellectual; and Orson Welles, an American
actor, director, producer, and screenwriter. He is also in dialogue
D.H. Lawrence; film-directors Stanley Donen and Agnès Varda;
actors Amy Adams, Channing Tatum, Quentin Tarantino, Tilda Swinton,
Nicole Kidman and Dennis Hopper; screenwriter Paul Schrader; and
last but not least, himself. The book will also feature an
Introduction by Fintan O’Toole, a polemicist, literary editor,
journalist and drama critic for The Irish Times, and the author of
the best-selling memoir We Don’t Know Ourselves: A Personal
History of Ireland Since 1958.
