Writers on Directors (Artist's Choice Book)

Bill McCuddy of Fox News said: "This is the dinner party Orson Welles, Andy Warhol, and Hal Ashby would have thrown. I'm glad Susan Gray was there to photograph it." I have to agree: this is a stunning book!

Heidi Parker of Movieline says:

"'Writers on Directors' offers a rare glimpse into the mind of a filmmaker. Whether the entries are entertaining retellings of personal encounters with directors or simply insightful analyses of their work, you'll find yourself tossing the information around in your head days after putting the book down."

Hollywood Gray style

What a wonderful book, with amazing, original and creative photos. Great reference for students too!!

compelling and unusal insights--a must for any film buff

You really have to see this book to appreciate it. The photos and essays make unusual but apt matches. My only regret is the smallish size of the book--because of the quality of the photographs it really should have been an oversized coffee-table volume
