Analysis of information sources in references of the Wikipedia article "John Boorman" in English language version.
National Heroes is serious, superbly written and insightful, and I will return to it after disposing of the other book I am required to consider, British Film Now, a collection of essays and sermons by no less than eleven authors, none of whom are identified as to their competence or authority. What they mostly have in common is a turgid prose style that, as a Governor of the BFI, I have come to recognise with sinking heart as the murky lingua franca of that otherwise noble body.
"The Emerald Forest" didn't get any Oscar nominations – but Boorman's gambit made an impact: He effectively invented the movie screener, now an integral part of Hollywood's awards season apparatus.
