For decades, legendary film producer Jeremy Thomas has driven from England to the Cannes Film Festival. This time, he’s joined by acclaimed filmmaker Mark Cousins. On their intimate five-day road trip through rural France, they remember some of the most acclaimed and controversial films ever made: THE LAST EMPEROR, which won nine Oscars, including a Best Picture award for Thomas when he was still in his thirties; David Cronenberg’s CRASH and its Cannes scandal; the masterpiece of sexual obsession BAD TIMING. Thomas introduces us to his remarkable world of movie stars—Marlon Brando, Jack Nicholson, David Bowie—and daring international cinema. Illustrated with a dazzling range of film clips and rich insights about creativity and survival, THE STORMS OF JEREMY THOMAS is a passionate ode to movies that get to the heart of life.
