I haven't seen that one. But John Boorman is one of our better directors. He also made those quintessential pieces of Americana- Point Blank and Deliverance.
British cinema has thrown up lots of talent but- because we share a language- most of it ends up in the States. It means there's no continuity. Hitchcock is arguably the greatest British born director- he made a great series of films in Britain through the 20s and 30s but then David O Selznick called him over to Hollywood and he was lost to us.
