书籍简介

这是爱尔兰伟大的导演和杰出的小说家之一所著的一部令人难忘的传记，记录了他一生致力于电影和文字的视觉艺术。

在这本生动、动人且奇怪的回忆录中，尼尔·乔丹——《往事》、《日出与海怪》和《突尼斯之夜》等经典小说的作者，以及《天使》、《蒙娜丽莎》、《哭泣游戏》和《夜访吸血鬼》等知名电影的创作者——深入探讨了他自己和家人的过去。

他的母亲是一名画家，他的父亲是一名学校督察，曾被鬼魂拜访过，乔丹在都柏林北部一个废弃的贵族庄园边缘长大，那里的神秘废墟激发了他的想象力。他热爱音乐，曾在乐队和剧团演奏，并在都柏林大学学院结识了一位名叫吉姆·谢里丹的年轻激进分子。他们一起上演了令人难忘的戏剧作品，这些作品暗示了他们未来的职业生涯。

他的小说《突尼斯之夜》和《往事》广受好评，但乔丹也被电影的自由和视觉丰富性所吸引，并与伟大的英国导演约翰·布尔曼合作拍摄了亚瑟王史诗。他与斯蒂芬·瑞合作的一部电影《天使》是对北爱尔兰问题恐怖暴力的精彩诠释，此后的几年里，他的电影以独特的方式将强烈的超自然元素与对暴力和性的反思结合在一起。

乔丹描述了他与斯蒂芬·瑞、杰伊·戴维森、鲍勃·霍斯金斯、汤姆·克鲁斯等人的合作，但这并不是传统的电影生活故事。这本书是爱尔兰不寻常的艺术家之一对失落、爱和创造力、灵感和影响的诡异沉思。

A haunted record of a life devoted to the visual art of the cinema and the written word, by Ireland's greatest director and one of her finest novelists.

In this vivid, moving and strange memoir, Neil Jordan - the author of classic fiction like The Past, Sunrise with Sea Monster and Night in Tunisia, and the creator of celebrated movies like Angel, Mona Lisa, The Crying Game and Interview with the Vampire - reaches deep into his own past and that of his family.

His mother was a painter, his father an inspector of schools who was visited, and Jordan grew up on the edge of an abandoned aristocratic estate in north Dublin whose mysterious ruins fed his imagination. Passionate about music, he played in bands and theatre groups and met, at University College Dublin, a young radical called Jim Sheridan. Together they staged unforgettable dramatic productions that hinted at their future careers.

His first collection of stories and first novel, Night in Tunisia and The Past, were met with acclaim, but Jordan was also drawn to the freedom and visual richness of film, and worked with the great English director John Boorman on his Arthurian epic Excalibur. His own first movie with Stephen Rea, Angel, was a brilliant angular take on the horrific violence of the Troubles, and in the years since then his films have combined in a unique way, intense supernatural elements with reflections on violence and sexuality.

Jordan describes his work with Stephen Rea, Jaye Davidson, Bob Hoskins, Tom Cruise and many others, but this is not a conventional story of life in the movies. The book is an eerie meditation on loss, love and creativity, on inspiration and influence, by one of the most unusual artists Ireland has produced.
