'An instant classic from a master of the form' PUBLISHERS WEEKLY An arresting story of an
artist's obsessions from the beloved and award-winning author of Black Hole. As a child
Brian and his friend Jimmy would make home movies in their yards coaxing their friends into
starring as victims of grisly murders and smearing lipstick on them to simulate blood. Now an
aspiring filmmaker he Jimmy and new girl in town Laurie - his reluctant muse - set off to a
remote cabin in the woods. Armed with an old camera they film a true sci-fi horror movie
where humans are born of disembodied alien wombs in homage to The Invasion of the Body
Snatchers . But as Brian's affections for Laurie go seemingly unreciprocated Brian writes and
draws himself into a fantasy where she is the girl of his dreams - both his damsel in distress
and his saviour. Final Cut blurs the line between dreams and reality imagination and
perception in this astonishing look at what it truly means to express oneself through art.
