'An instant classic from a master of the form' PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
'Unsettling and beautifully executed' GUARDIAN
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.
