Review
'The cutting room is where you learn how to make films, where you face up to your limitations and realise what you should have done. So you'd better have a good relationship with your editor. The people talking here are amongst the best. Treat them well.' Stephen Frears - director of 'Prick up Your Ears', My Beautiful Launderette', 'Dangerous Liaisons', 'The Grifters' and 'The Snapper' "Crittenden has juxtaposed individual interviews with essays and critical arguments by some of the directors who worked alongside these editors. Essays by Godard and Truffaut, for example, usefully bookend the interview with Guillemot. For anyone who has enjoyed the French New Wave, Italian Neo-Realism or the films of Andrei Tarkovsky or Ingmar Bergman, Crittenden's volume will be essential reading." Ray Zone - American Editors Guild magazine 'The editors I know are full of insights and revealing stories about their work - this looks a good read, full of great anecdotes.' Ken Loach - director of The Navigators, Land and Freedom, Kes and Sweet Sixteen
Product Description
Roger Crittenden reveals the experiences of many of the greatest living European film editors through his warm and perceptive interviews which offer a unique insight into the art of editing - direct from masters of the craft. In their interviews the editors relate their experience to the directors they have worked with, including: Agnes Guillemot - (Godard, Truffaut, Catherine Breillat), Roberto Perpignani - (Welles, Bertolucci, Tavianni Brothers), Sylvia Ingemarsson - (Ingmar Bergman), Michal Leszczylowski - (Andrei Tarkovsky, Lukas Moodysson), Tony Lawson (Nic Roeg, Stanley Kubrick, Neil Jordan) and many more. Foreword by Walter Murch, three-time Oscar-winning Editor of "Apocalypse Now", "The English Patient", "American Graffiti", "The Conversation and The Godfather Part II and III". Foreword by the incomparable film editor, Walter Murch. Living exponents reach back to reveal the radical shift in approach created by the French New Wave and trace the patterns of editing practice into this new century.

Whether you are an aspiring filmmaker, editor or just a movie lover, this book will give you some wonderful insights into an integral process of filmmaking that is often transparent to us.
Reading this book is the second best thing to actually learning in person from the masters of cinema and their enormously talented editors.
