"It has left me with jaw agape. This is the old friend that I did not know but always suspected might be lurking about."—Dirk Bogarde on Joseph Losey: A Revenge on Life
Ranging from Losey’s beginnings with experimental theatre in New York to his death in 1984 at the age of 75, author David Caute provides a compelling portrait of a hugely driven talent, whose creative generosity, alcohol addiction, and often brutal egotism continue to elicit fierce and wildly divergent reactions. Drawing on candid interviews Caute raises important questions about talent, ambition, and the art of film-making. A Revenge on Life is as illuminating as it is absorbing.
