Heathcote Williams - Without Walls Part 2 of 2.

"Every time I cross the Tamar, I get into Trouble" Unrepeated documentary from Channel 4 from March 1993 - An account of Heathcote William's work, and Al Pacino's obsession with his writing. Includes an interview with Harold Pinter and footage from Pacino's film "The Local Stigmatic."

An interesting semi-spoof documentary on the 'recluse' Heathcote Williams, writer, playwright, actor, artist, conjurer, graffiti artist and all-round subversive / iconoclastic trickster. A writer of visionary and hallucinatory power, with remarkable gifts of language and characterization, his most famous and celebrated works are "Whale Nation", " Sacred Elephant" and the astonishingly written, dense and surprising play "AC/DC". Watch out for the odd 'characters' that populate this documentary; there are interesting resemblances.....
