For all those who grew up believing that Planet of the Apes explains all
there is to know about politics, that Slade in Flame was a savage expose of
the pop world, and that The Exorcist revealed the meaning of life, then you
probably spent far too many of your formative years at the cinema. Just as
likely, you soon realized that there was only one career open to you.you'd
have to become a film critic. In It.s Only a Movie, the incomparable Mark
Kermode takes us into the weird world of a life lived in widescreen.
Join him as he embarks on a gut-wrenching journey through the former Soviet
Union on the trail of the low-budget horror flick Dark Waters, cringe as
he's handbagged by Helen Mirren at the BAFTA awards ceremony, cheer as he
gets thrown out of the Cannes Film Festival for heckling in very bad French,
and don't forget to gasp as he's shot at while interviewing Werner Herzog in
the Hollywood Hills. Written with sardonic wit and wry good humor, this
compelling cinematic memoir is genuinely "inspired by real events".
