Description de l'ouvrage :

Revue de Presse :
Conversations with Alfred Hitchcock, Robert Aldrich, and other movie directors explore the craft of directing and use interviews with directors to explain how they created individual styles and made their marks in a depersonalized studio system. Enjoy an excellent, involving study from a wide range of creators. -- Midwest Book Review

Peter Bogdanovich's book is an exercise in nostalgia.... It's good to have these interviews, conducted over many years, from 1961 to 1995, with Bogdanovich sometimes going back to a director more than once; and a careful combing of pages, along with a willingness to imagine what isn't always said explicitly, allows you to learn quite a bit about the movies. -- The New York Review of Books, Michael Wood

This is a huge and valuable book, a collection of interviews that Mr. Bogdanovich has conducted since 1960 with 16 great Hollywood directors. Many readers will not have heard of a lot of the films discussed, but the stories stand on their own. They are an oral history of an art form created out of pragmatism, experimentation, instinct and luck. Lurking beneath was the soul of the individual film maker. -- The New York Times Book Review, Roger Ebert
