‘The Storms of Jeremy Thomas’ a must for cinephiles

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 21:36:57 GMT

Urgent message to Boston-area cineastes: See “The Storms of Jeremy Thomas.” One of the most important and prolific producers of independent films, Thomas, who won a best picture Academy Award for “The Last Emperor” (1988), was born into the cinema. His father Ralph Thomas directed the “Doctor” film series with Dirk Bogarde; His uncle Gerald Thomas helmed the raucous and still popular “Carry On” films.“Prince” Jeremy paid his dues as an editor on such films as “The Harder They Come” (1972) and “The Golden Voyage of Sinbad” (1973). Thomas’ first effort as a producer was the Dennis Hopper vehicle “Mad Morgan” (1974), followed by the Jerzy Skolimowski Cannes award-winner “The Shout” (1978), the first of several collaborations with English actor John Hurt, including the great 1984 Stephen Frears’ gangster movie “The Hit.” Thomas was off like a rocket. He formed an artistic partnership with auteur Nicolas Roeg (Don’s Look Now”), beginning with the belatedly acclaimed “Ba...
