Ordinary Heroes: The Films of Danny Boyle
From Bury to the Academy, Danny Boyle's has been a career less ordinary, and it's charted here in a loving, if occasionally starchy film-by-film detail. Taking in recurrent Boyle motifs (religion, windfalls, subcultures) and techniques, it's a satisfying guide for fans and film students. With chapters dedicated to each of the ten films Danny Boyle has directed, this book explores the themes, techniques and styles of the director's work. From Shallow Grave to Oscar winning Slumdog Millionaire - and including the hit movies Trainspotting, The Beach and 28 Days Later. Danny Boyle's influence is examined and assessed.
