By the evidence of last Wednesday, Vadim is indeed a lovely fella and you're right - Producer/Director would be more accurate. I think of him as a Producer because I first came across him when he and Gary Sinyor were being creative in how they financed Leon the Pig Farmer and that creativity was an inspiration for aspiring film-makers at the time. There was of course an Edgware/Jason Isaacs connection as the aforementioned school bus collected us from the forecourt of Edgware tube station, past which the Edgware Walker jogged, and in which a scene of Leon is set.

A beautiful script, masterfully executed. I was so absorbed in my own pomposity that I forgot to concur with you that Mr Joffe’s achievements with Secret Life were incredible.

I wonder who you are confusing him with - Douglas or Rupert perhaps? I am sure Vadim would rather be tagged as a director but it's true he has produced some of his films. Lovely man.
