Bright, clean & tight copy, unread, in Fine/As New condition. "A firsthand account of how this extraordinary cult movie was made by the Oscar-winning Coen brothers. [] THE BIG LEBOWSKI is the Coen brothers' razor-sharp comedy thriller of mistaken identity, gangsters, bowling, kidnapping, and money gone astray. Jeff Bridges's portrayal of the Dude has become iconic, as have many of its lines. The movie also has amazing performances by John Goodman, Steve Buscemi, Julianne Moore, John Turturro, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Sam Elliot, and Ben Gazzara. [] Not given to talking publicly about their work, the Coens gave unprecedented access to Tricia Cooke and William Preston Robertson to interview the cast and crew during the film's production. In a prose style that complements the Coens' filmic one, the book discusses the Coens' oeuvre, the themes of their work, and their unique brand of humor. It closely examines several scenes of THE BIG LEBOWSKI to explore how an idea transitions to reality and shows the process by which the Coens craft their artistic vision. A new afterword examines its embrace by popular culture, including the many Lebowski Fests, as well as its being the subject of quasi-serious academic discourse."

Each plate is followed by a short critique by Thackeray. Thackeray was an old friend of Marvy, a French artist, who took refuge in London after the chaos of 1848. Theodore Taylor's 1864 biography of Thackeray mentions the history of the book: "A fine and skillful landscape painter himself, M. Marvy, while here, as a means of earning a living, made a series of engravings after the works of our English landscape painters. The publishers, however, would not undertake the work without a series of letter-press notices of each picture from Thackeray; and the latter accordingly added some criticisms which are interesting as developing his theory of this kind of art" (p.32).
