Get Carter screening with Mike Hodges - Bristol, 21 May

[Ignatius_S]

Bristol-born Mike Hodges made one of the finest crime films ever with his 1971 debut Get Carter, for which he was both screenwriter and director. He went on to make Pulp, The Terminal Man, Black Rainbow, and Croupier among other films. Hodges has also worked as a documentary maker for British television and has recently written his first novel, Watching the Wheels Come Off, a noir comedy about a day in the life of a failed con man where everything goes from bad to worse. An uncompromising filmmaker, but one who is at last is getting the recognition he deserves. Maxim Jakubowski interviews Mike Hodges, followed by a screening of the classic film Get Carter.
