Overview

Danny Boyle's journey to Oscar night began in a working-class family in Lancashire in 1956. After a career in the theatre - working for such esteemed companies as Joint Stock and the Royal Court - Boyle went to the BBC in Belfast and produced dramas such as Alan Clarke's Elephant, and Mr Wroes Virgins. Shallow Grave announced the arrival of a dynamic new talent to British cinema - a reputation that was confirmed with the blistering Trainspotting - the zeitgeist film of the 90s. The succeeding films - A Life Less Ordinary, The Beach, 28 Days Later, Sunshine and Slumdog Millionaire - established him as the leading director of his generation - one for whom the collaboration between director, producer and writer was of the essence. The Danny Boyle who emerges from these interviews is frank, funny, charming and wholeheartedly inspiring.
