Product Description

Scene by Scene consists of detailed, incisive discussions in which film directors and actors analyse key scenes from their film output. Those interviewed include such famous names as Lauren Bacall, Kirk Douglas, Sean Connery, Martin Scorsese, Rod Steiger, Dennis Hopper, Tom Hanks, Roman Polanski, Bernardo Bertolucci, Jack Lemmon, Steve Martin and many others. Presented in a lively and accessible manner by Mark Cousins and fully illustrated throughout, the book will appeal to the general reader and those wishing to learn about the craft of film-making. The book provides in-depth discussions on about 40 scenes which illustrate the technical excellence of director or actor in question, flanked by a brief series introduction and a bibliographical section and index. In essence the book will contain around 40 of the most important film scenes from the last 50 years.
