After directing the 1980s blockbusters First Blood and Weekend at Bernie's, Kotcheff helped produce the groundbreaking Television show Law & Order: Special Patients Device. During his career, he was announced a Communist by the government, suspended from the Royal Albert Hall in London, and coped with assassination threats to 1 of his lead celebrities. Along with his seminal motion pictures enjoying a critical renaissance, including compliment from Martin Scorsese and Nick Cave, Kotcheff now turns the lens on himself. Witty and fearless, Director's Chop is not just a memoir, but also a close-up on life and craft, with stories of his long friendship with Mordecai Richler and working with stars like Sylvester Stallone, Wayne Mason, Gregory Peck, Ingmar Bergman, Gene Hackman, Jane Fonda, and Richard Dreyfuss, as well as advice on how to endure the slings and arrows of Hollywood.
