Faced with the task of following up one of the most successful horror films of all time, John Boorman ignored audience expectations and crafted this very odd, visually audacious sequel. Linda Blair returns as the young girl coveted by the devil, but Boorman forgoes the shocks and gore of the first film in favor of a wild--sometimes barely coherent--metaphysical thriller. Critically assailed when first released, this peculiar feature has developed a small but passionate band of defenders. "...a blend of Minnellian baroque and Bunuelian absurdity...More than worth a look, if only out of curiosity" (Dave Kehr, Chicago Reader). With Richard Burton, Louise Fletcher, James Earl Jones, Max von Sydow, and Ned Beatty. John Boorman---USA---1977---117 mins.

The life and crimes of Martin Cahill, the Irish master thief who stole an estimated 60 million dollars worth of merchandise, are the subject of this exceptionally well-made John Boorman feature. Shot in striking, widescreen black and white, the film creates a vivid world of urban grit. Brendan Gleeson is excellent as the charming yet increasingly desperate Cahill, while Jon Voight makes a strong antagonist as the cop who is trying to stop the criminal reign of his former childhood pal. Boorman won Best Director honors at the John Boorman---Ireland---1998---124 mins.

"Perhaps the most neglected of John Boorman's films, and certainly one of the strangest, this 1969 feature stars Marcello Mastroianni as a withdrawn Italian aristocrat who has a voyeuristic relationship with the residents of the black London ghetto where he lives, until he eventually emerges from his cocoon. Written by Boorman and William Stair, the film also features Billie Whitelaw and Calvin Lockhart. Steeped in the syntax of the swinging 60s even more than Boorman's previous Having a Wild Weekend and Point Blank, the film looks dated today, but interestingly and revealingly; and it shows a kind of originality and verve that has been Boorman's stock-in-trade from the beginning" (Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader).
