John Boorman and Geoff Dyer: Point Blank

Director John Boorman (Deliverance, Excalibur, Zardoz) talks to Geoff Dyer (Broadsword calling Danny Boy, Zona, But Beautiful) about his groundbreaking 1967 crime thriller Point Blank. Geoff is obviously a superfan of the movie and they talk about Hollywood in the 60's, Angie Dickinson and John's relationship with Lee Marvin with whom he subsequently made Hell in the Pacific. They also talk about John Boorman's Nature Diary (Lilliput Press), a journal written during Lockdown.

John Boormans book, Conclusions is fantastic. And oddly enough, that small table behind him (the exact one) is in my small cottage here in ireland.

Love to be able to send a Christmas card to John Boorman, what an exciting life he's led, & interesting listening to such a knowledgeable fella, I only make videos of Churches in Essex as a hobby, & survey the Ancient Yew Trees all of em in Essex, it's a world that so reminds me of King Arthur & Medival knights

Richard Brooks was Angie's contemptuous playmate..
