Since he is Alan Parker,the scourge of pretension,director and screenwriter,legendary crosspatch and curmudgeon,a Grumpy Old Man before they were invented,his barbs as a part-time cartoonist are mostly directed at the inanities,insanities and frustrations attendant upon being a film-maker.No one gets away: Hollywood,the British Film Industry (ha!), critics,actors,directors,writers,audiences and financiers can all be seen pinned and wriggling on his wickedly sharp nib. As director of 14 films,amongst them 'Angel Heart','The Commitments', 'Evita','Fame','Pink Floyd The Wall',and 'The Road to Wellville'.Alan Parker is known for his acidic wit and uncompromising approach to film-making.He has often resorted to humor in cartoons to vent his frustrations about the business,and,to his surprise,many recipients within the industry actually enjoyed and often even framed his biting messages. No-one escaped: studio heads,actors,and crew all come under Parker's merciless pen in this unique collection of more than 200 mini masterpieces.Cinephiles will enjoy access to the director's doodles, drawings,and sketches,which have become collector's items among their often thinly-veiled targets,adorning the walls of actors,producers, directors,and movie executives around the world. Since April 2013,and again in March 2015,and in this year too,the UK Post Office has altered it's Pricing in Proportion template,altering its prices,weight allowances,dimensions and lowered its qualifying compensation rates too! So,please contact rpaxtonden@blueyonder.co.uk ,for correct,insured shipping/P+p quotes - particularly ALL overseas buyers - BEFORE ordering through the order page!
