To be a filmmaker, Miles had to sidestep parental plans to enrol him in the family steelworks. He had already been filming in communist China and Argentina when he escaped to Paris where he made his first professional film.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLater, working mostly in Europe and America, Miles made a string of intriguing and unusual films, two exploring his obsession with D.H. Lawrence, others bringing works by Jean Anouilh and Jean Genet to the big screen.

Among the stars of his films are Ian McKellen, Ava Gardner, John Gielgud, Susannah York, Franco Nero, and Charlotte Rampling. This compelling account goes behind the scenes, setting the films in context and giving the reader a very personal view of contemporary film-making.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eCarrying the Can\u003c\/em\u003e by Christopher Miles provides an insider's perspective on the challenges and triumphs of a filmmaker navigating an ever-evolving industry.
