Paperback. Zustand: Good. 404 pages. Book is tidy - however, is very warped/ bent across the vertical/ middle.The majorly entertaining memoir from a major entertainer - Geoff 'Goodbye Por k Pie' Murphy tells it like it really was in this director's cut of his life and times. I'm taking this bloody car to Invercargill! It was the… line that had cinema audiences cheering. Goodbye Pork Pie became an instant classic, and anno unced the arrival of a major new talent in director Geoff Murphy. With his next two films, Utu and The Quiet Earth, he cemented his reputation as a pioneer of N ew Zealand cinema, eventually arriving in Hollywood as a gun-for-hire in the sup er-charged world of studio politics and superstar egos. He'd come a long way f rom his days as a struggling school teacher, and then a member of a madcap band of merry pranksters known as Blerta, founded by his great friend and collaborato r Bruno Lawrence. But it was the same sense of adventure -with a healthy dose of Kiwi ingenuity - that defined every stage of his career. In this candid and f unny memoir, Geoff Murphy looks back on a life in (and on) film - from do-it-you rself shoots in the 1960s to epic work on Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings tril ogy - and delivers the director's cut of a truly remarkable life.

Soft cover. Zustand: Very Good. A very good clean copy with tiny amounts of light shelf wear. Murphy tells his story with the same irreverence and energy that defined his films. He describes the chaotic creativity of BLERTA, the shoestring ingenuity behind Goodbye Pork Pie, and the way that film's runaway success launched modern… New Zealand cinema. The memoir follows him through the making of Utu and The Quiet Earth, both of which cemented his reputation as a pioneering director, and then into the high‑pressure world of Hollywood, where he worked on studio action films and navigated the politics and egos of big‑budget moviemaking. The tone is candid, humorous, and often self‑deprecating, giving the book the feel of a director's cut of his own life.
