In the spring of 2009, Michel Ciment and Philippe Pilard paid a visit to John Boorman, who welcomed them into his home in Ireland. Boorman talks about his career, his childhood (revived in Hope and Glory, 1987), his beginnings and some of his films: Point Blank (1967) and his meeting with Lee Marvin, Marcello Mastroianni in Leo the Last (1970), and the legendary Excalibur (1981). Not to mention The Tiger's Tail (2006), starring Brendan Gleeson, in which Boorman prophesised the financial crisis that has since hit Ireland! The Festival La Rochelle paid a tribute to Jogn Boorman in 1978. (Festival International du Film de La Rochelle)
