For this Bonus Interview episode, Brian talks to filmmaker David Kittredge about his excellent new documentary BOORMAN AND THE DEVIL - which examines the tumultuous making of the film EXORCIST II: THE HERETIC in gret detail. While the movie focuses on that production and its many issues, it also serves as a lovely career retrospective for John Boorman as well. In addiotion to talking about how his doc came about, Kittredge also indulges us and offers pairings for five of his favorites from Boorman's amazing filmography.
BOORMAN AND THE DEVIL is being distributed by in North America by Yellow Veil Pictures and has some limited theatrical dates set for late August but will be expanding into more theaters on September 4th. In the meantime, there will be a screening of the movie at The Aero Theater in Santa Monica in conjunction with the American Cinematheque on Tuesday August 18th at 7:30PM.
