Book Review: Conversations with Bruce Robinson
Summary: 4 Stars
Very enjoyable series of conversations with actor turned writer turned director, pretty boy Bruce Robinson. Having directed two of the best English comedies of the 80's (Withnail and I and How To Get Ahead in Advertising - both starring Richard E Grant - for another perspective and a fantastic perspective of an English (from Swaziland actually but...) actor in Hollywood read Richard E Grant's Withnails) I was very eager to read about the making of these films and what has happened to his career since - try sitting through Jennifer 8 without being disappointed. He is a voracious reader and collector and it is great to get a glimpse of his life and work. I only wish his body of creative work was larger - many of his more recent projects have fallen through. For fans of these two great films it is a delight.
