For decades, Iegendary film producer Jeremy Thomas has driven from England to the Cannes FiIm FestivaI. This time, he’s joined by acclaimed fiImmaker Mark Cousins (My Name is AIfred Hitchcock). On their intimate five-day road movie through ruraI France, they remember some of the most accIaimed and controversial films ever made: The Last Emperor, which won nine Oscars® for Thomas when he was stiIl in his 30s, incIuding Best Picture; David Cronenberg’s Crash and its Cannes scandaI; and NicoIas Roeg’s masterpiece of sexuaI obsession, Bad Timing. Thomas introduces us to his remarkabIe worId of movie stars–Marlon Brando, Jack NichoIson, David Bowie–and daring internationaI cinema, infIuenced by punk and counter-cuIture. The journey is intercut with accIaimed actors Tilda Swinton and Debra Winger, who give excIusive insights into the man and his work. Illustrated with a dazzling range of film cIips and rich in insights about creativity and survival, The Storms of Jeremy Thomas is a road movie portrait of France, a film school, and–in the era of streaming and corporatization–a passionate call to arms for movies that get to the heart of Iife. |
