The updated autobiography of one of Britain's most controversial film directors. Moving with astonishing assurance through time and space, Russell recreates his life in a series of episodes - his thirties childhood in Southampton, his schooldays at the nautical College, Pangbourne, early careers in the Merchant Marines and the Royal Air Force, dancing days at the Shepherds Bush Ballet Club and of course his career as a film-maker, beginning with an extraordinary interview with Huw Wheldon for a job on Monitor.
