Synopsis
This is the first comprehensive monograph of the work and life of one of the most important and influential filmmaking teams of our time. Their classic films Grey Gardens, Gimme Shelter, and Salesman are masterpieces that set the standards of modern documentary filmmaking. With David on sound and Albert behind he camera, the Maysles were key figures in the direct cinema movement in which a two-person crew using handheld lightweight sound and film equipment functions as a self-contained movie studio capturing life as it happens. With a handful of others, the Maysles are the progenitors of modern documentary cinema. Using the latest digital technology to scan and print from original footage, the core of this book is the translation to the page of the greatest images from the Maysles major and less known films. The recent discovery of a cache of original film negatives, hours of outtake film, numerous still photographs, production notes, and personal and business letters are the occasion for this retrospective publication and exhibition.

1. ed. 375 S. : überw. Ill. ; 29 cm, 1700 gr. Zustand: Sehr gut, neuwertig, noch original eingeschweißt. - "Der beste Kameramann Amerikas (Godard) "Er zählt zu den Männern, die vor mehr als 50 Jahren Amerikas Dokumentarfilm revolutioniert haben. Albert Maysles gelangen Filme, die so nah dran sind an den Menschen, als ob es keine Kamera gäbe. Martin Scorsese ist ein großer Bewunderer des Maysles-Stil, dessen Kennzeichen eine immer in Bewegung gehaltene Handkamera ist, die schnell vor- und zurückzoomt, die knallhart Ausschnitte, Blenden, Unschärfen korrigiert, mit Raum-Zeit-Sprüngen im Schnitt mitten hinein führt ins Geschehen. Maysles hat mit Orson Welles, den Beatles, den Stones, mit Marlon Brando, Vladimir Horowitz und Christo Filme gemacht. Einige von ihnen wurden zu Meilensteinen der Filmgeschichte: The Salesman, über eine Gruppe von Hausierern, oder Grey Gardens über eine Tante und eine Cousine von Jackie Kennedy, die in einem verwilderten Haus in Boston die Mutter-Tochter-Beziehung durchfighten, oder Lalees Kin, das Porträt einer schwarzen Baumwollpflückerin. Dieser bilderpralle Fotoband bietet einen einzigartigen Einblick in sein Lebenswerk. Er zeigt Sophia Loren, Arthur Miller, Marlon Brando, Dalí, Christo, die Stones, die Kennedys, Fidel Castro u.v.a bei den Dreharbeiten und beweist, dass Maysles nicht nur ein Genie hinter der Kamera war, sondern auch eine unvergleichliche Leichtigkeit im Umgang mit Menschen besaß." (Verlagstext) Mit einem Vorwort von Martin Scorsese. Internationale Ausgabe, Text englisch.
