Synopsis
Covering classical Hollywood cinema, contemporary film-making and the classics of world cinema, this book is a visual guide to 250 of the all time greatest directors. Giving a page to each director, the book takes a still from a film that typifies each director's cinematic style. The words that accompany each still, describes the mise-en-scene and use this to describe the visual and thematic obsessions of each director's work - how they use focus, camera angle and motion, lighting, sound and sets and action to create the filmic reality that we the viewers are pulled into.
