Description de l'ouvrage :
This radical re-reading of Ford's work studies his films in the context of his complex character, demonstrating their immense intelligence and their profound critique of our culture.
À propos de l'auteur :
Ted Gallagher's articles have appeared in Sight & Sound, Film Comment, Artforum, and many other publications.
Revue de Presse :
"An almost flawless blend of criticism and biography about one of America's greatest film directors."— New York Times Book Review
"'Here at last is a book that richly documents his life and catalogs with sound critical commentary all of Ford's films." — Boston Sunday Globe
"In its out-sized efforts to do justice to the contradictions and complexities of the man and his work, it . . . offers a range of information and insight that dwarfs all competitors. . . . The sense of Ford's personality which emerges achieves at times a novelistic density. And the films are often seen to reverberate on multiple planes as well."— Sight & Sound
"A monumental task of scholarship. . . . Gallagher effectively shatters the twin images of Ford the tough guy, tyrant at home and on the set, and of Ford the semi-literate poet. . . . The real Ford, like the real Shakespeare, was an intellectual, a hard-nosed professional and—yes—a poet too."— Los Angeles Times
"A major labor of love, a tremendously useful book on the teaching level, and a solid and enjoyable read on a personal level."— Films in Review
