Book Description
Schrader on Schrader features in-depth discussion between Kevin Jackson and Paul Schrader, screenwriter for Taxi Driver, Raging Bull and Scorsese's The Last Temptation.
From the Back Cover
Raised as a Calvinist and hence forbidden to partake of 'worldly pleasures' such as movies, Paul Schrader nevertheless defied his upbringing to become first a leading film critic, then a star pupil among the US 'movie brat' generation of the 1970s: writing the coruscating screenplays for Scorsese's ‘Taxi Driver' and ‘Raging Bull' and directing such provocative pictures as ‘Blue Collar', ‘Hardcore' and ‘American Gigolo'. Maturity has never sated his appetite for attacking 'difficult' material, from adapting Kazantzakis' ‘The Last Temptation' for Scorsese, to filming the singular lives of Mishima and Patty Hearst.
‘Schrader on Schrader' is a tour through this formidable body of work, including some of Schrader's finest critical essays, and updating the story to include his recent successes ‘Affliction' and ‘Auto Focus', plus his adventures in the making of the long-awaited horror 'prequel' ‘Exorcist: The Beginning'.
