- Title
"I wanted to combine realism with a sort of lighter touch": An Interview with Perry Henzell, Director of The Harder They Come.
- Authors
Paddington, Bruce R.
- Abstract
This 2000 interview with the filmmaker Perry Henzell, who wrote and directed the most successful Jamaican film, The Harder They Come (1972), focuses on the director's upbringing, early career, and his creative work. It chronicles Henzell's tireless efforts to get financing for The Harder They Come, produce it, and market it to a global audience. At the time of this lengthy interview, the negatives for his second and only other film No Place Like Home (dir. Perry Henzell, 2006, Jamaica) had been lost for about twenty years. They were later discovered and the film was finally completed before Henzell's death in 2006.
