Mark Kermode
It's Only a Movie Tour
Scenes from a life lived through a lens
Is it possible to spend too much time watching movies? Can the excessive consumption of cinema be bad for you? And do horror movies really turn viewers into bad people?
Anyone who has ever been addicted to celluloid thrills knows that the answer to these questions is "No, no, and thrice no!" And having spent the better part of his life gazing at the silver screen, film critic Mark Kermode will tell you for a fact that there’s almost nothing in the ‘real’ world that you can’t learn about – and live through – in the movies.
In this talk, Mark will revisit some real-life scenes that he remembers with cinematic clarity: getting shot at while interviewing Werner Herzog in Hollywood, being handbagged by Helen Mirren at the BAFTAs, being thrown out of the Cannes Film Festival for heckling in very bad French.
Outspoken, opinionated and never lost for words, Mark gives a hilarious account of a life obsessed with film, which will appeal to anyone who's ever wondered: "Who would play me in the film of my life?"
Mark will also be signing copies of his book after the show.
