(front flap)
Lights, cameras, action! The world of movies is full of glamour and romance but it is the men and women behind the camera who call the shots, crafting cinema experiences that have enthralled generations of moviegoers.
The successor to the best-selling 1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die, 501 Movie Directors is a comprehensive guide to the masters of the big screen, from Woody Allen (Annie Hall) to Fred Zinnemann (High Noon), and from Takashi Miike (Audition) to Ingmar Bergman (Persona). Every auteur and action hit maker, comic genius and horror maestro is here, in one beautifully illustrated and fact-filled volume.
From the pioneering Buster Keaton to French New Wave director Lean-Luc Godard and enfant terrible Gaspar No©, all the giants and emerging geniuses of world cinema are included, making this the most comprehensive guide to movie directors ever produced. Each filmmaker receives at least a full-page entry, complete with a critically selected filmography and fascinating facts about his or her influences, trademarks, and creative partnerships. Did you know that Alfred Hitchcock made cameo appearances in thirty-seven of his movies? Discover Martin Scorsese s New York, and how 1960s Italian gothic cinema shaped modern directing styles.
Written by an international team of film critics, film historians, and journalists, this is a complete biography of the creative forces behind more than a century of film. Whether you read it from cover to cover or dip into it from time to time, 501 Movie Directors will broaden your love and appreciation of cinema . . . and continue to do so for many years to come. .
