A Personal Journey with Martin Scorsese Through American Movies

A Hollywood, Tourneur fut l'un des " contrebandiers ", peut-être le premier, qui ont subverti le récit classique de l'intérieur. Un explorateur de l'autre côté, en quête des " passages " qui ouvrent sur d'autres dimensions. Un poète attentif à l'inquiétante étrangeté de notre décor quotidien lorsqu'il révèle ses fractures. Un promeneur extraordinairement solitaire, poursuivant à l'insu de tous, protégé par son humilité même, une expérimentation qui a transformé le cinéma en profondeur.

ou la magie de la suggestion

Jacques Tourneur

Visión del cine norteamericano y sus protagonistas desde la época muda hasta los años 70, que, acompañada de un abundante material gráfico, analiza algunos de sus géneros más importantes, el papel que debe desempeñar el director, y las películas que más han influido en la obra de Scorsese.

Martin Scorsese is one of the most celebrated film-makers working today in Hollywood. A five time Academy Award Nominee for Best Director, Scorsese's films consistently push the boundaries of what viewers expect to see on the silver screen. From Taxi Driver to Goodfellas to The Departed, Scorsese continually challeneges audiences with his gritty, often brutal films. Developed from over 30 years of interviews with his friend and fellow director, Michael Henry Wilson, Scorsese on Scorsese is the first book to examine the career of this cinematic master in his own words. Illustrated with documents, and personal photos from Scorsese's own archive along with film stills, this in-depth look at all of Scorsese's masterpieces from his early short films all the way up to his recent Shutter Island (2010) is a key reference work for both fans of the director and professionals looking for the keys to the master's work.
