Description de l'ouvrage:
A reader containing 16 selected interviews with Mann

This reader is the first to bring together a selection of Mann's own interviews where he reflects on his film and television productions. The sixteen interviews provide historical context, interpretation and evaluation of the auteur's work. They encompass his entire career as a feature filmmaker and television producer/director as he and others reflect on his themes, working methods, artistic development and career achievements. The book aims to open up Mann's body of work, making it available for comparison with the work of his contemporaries, and to provide fresh insights into his film and television work. A substantive introductory essay, chronology and filmography provide additional bases for understanding the interviews, essays and work of this major filmmaker.

Revue de Presse:
Editors Sanders and Palmer have expertly and artfully drawn together an essential volume of conversation and commentary　in which we are offered a meaningful engagement with the compelling ways in which Michael Mann makes moving images of subtlety and force, and in his work achieves a rare coupling of emotional intensity and intellectual nuance. Mann is deserving of much critical attention and this　lively and engrossing collection goes some distance in helping readers and viewers appreciate anew his unique achievements as a creator of enduring, culturally resonant, television and film.– David LaRocca, Cornell University and the College at Cortland, State University of New York

I could go on and on why this book is so fantastic, but I should leave those surprises for you when you read it. Michael Mann Cinema and television interviews 1980 to 2012 is essential read for any filmmaker, fan of high-level creative, intelligent filmmaking or someone who wants to be exposed to the thoughts from one of the most distinct American filmmakers in cinema history.– Terry R. Wickham, Manta Ray Pictures
