You've seen many of Neil Jordan's films, from 1985's "Mona Lisa" right up to 2003's "The Good Thief." Now authors Emer and Kevin Rockett offer a valuable look back at the director's diverse body of work in "Neil Jordan: Exploring Boundaries." Once you delve back into Jordan's often dazzling career, it's sometimes hard to believe the director of Irish classics such as "The Crying Game," "The Butcher Boy" and "Michael Collins" also helmed the Robert DeNiro-Sean Penn caper "We're No Angels" and the sumptuous, English-set World War II film "The End of the Affair." Other books which are part of this series on contemporary Irish artists have included interviews with the artists themselves. Unfortunately, we do not get a sit down with Neil Jordan in this book. Nevertheless, this is a smart, revealing book about an important artist. ($29.95 / 316 pages / Dufour)
