Product Description
The story of film told passionately by the filmmakers themselves, as film critic Mark Cousins interweaves the personalities with technological advances and changes in production. There are engaging descriptions of groundbreaking scenes in the films themselves, and comparisons of filmmakers as they influenced each other as well as being influenced by contemporary events. Throughout, striking images and rare freeze-frames point up both stylistic and technical cinematic innovation, drawing images as much from the less familiar worlds of African, Asian and Middle Eastern cinema as well as from the work of Western directors.
Hardback in black cloth, pp512, very well illustrated throughout.
