Description:
viii, 264 p. : ill. ; 23 cm.
Bibliography:
Includes filmographies and index.
Summary:
35
directors
champion
their favorite overlooked or
critically
savaged
gems. Among these guilty pleasures, almost-masterpieces, and undeniable classics in need of revival are unsung noirs (Murder by Contract), famous flops (Can't Stop the Music, Joe Versus the Volcano), art films (L'ange), theatrical adaptations (The Iceman Cometh), B-movies (Killer Klowns from Outer Space), and even a few Oscar-winners (Some Came Running). These conversations provide as much insight into the
directors
' own approach to moviemaking as into the
film
they
're discussing. Giving advice about how you should watch each movie, the
directors
are often brutally honest about a
film
's shortcomings.
