This updated autobiography of one of the most controversial film directors, the creative force behind Altered States , The Devils , The Music Lovers , The Rainbow , Tommy , and Women in Love , is as unconventional and brilliant as his best films. Moving with astonishing assurance through time and space, Russell re-creates his life in a series of interconnected episodes--his 1930s childhood in Southampton; his first sexual experience (watching Disney's Pinocchio ); his school days at the Nautical College in Pangbourne; early careers in the Merchant Marine and the Royal Air Force; dancing days at the Shepherds Bush Ballet Club; and of course his career as a filmmaker; beginning with an extraordinary interview with Huw Weldon for a job on Monitor . Full of marvelously funny anecdotes and fascinating insights into the realities of the film director's life, A British Picture is a remarkable autobiography.
