From Scorsese and Lynch to Wenders and Godard, interviews with twenty of the world's greatest directors on how they make films--and why Each great filmmaker has a secret method to his moviemaking--but each of them is different. InMoviemaker Master Class, Laurent Tirard talks to twenty of today's most important filmmakers to get to the core of each director's approach to film, exploring the filmmaker's vision as well as his technique, while allowing each man to speak in his own voice. Martin Scorsese likes setting up each shot very precisely ahead of time--so that he has the opportunity to change it all if he sees the need. Lars Von Trier, on the other hand, refuses to think about a shot until the actual moment of filming. And Bernardo Bertolucci tries to dream his shots the night before; if that doesn't work, he roams the set alone with a viewfinder, imagining the scene before the actors and crew join him. In these interviews--which originally appeared in the French filmmagazineStudioand are being published here in English for the first time--enhanced by exceptional photographs of the directors at work, Laurent Tirard has succeeded in finding out what makes each filmmaker--and his films--so extraordinary, shedding light on both the process and the people behind great moviemaking. Among the other filmmakers included are Woody Allen, Tim Burton, Joel and Ethan Coen, and John Woo.… (more)

En ambos volúmenes, el escritor y periodista francés Laurent Tirard entrevista a más de 30 cineastas para cuestionarlos sobre el oficio de ser director y los métodos de trabajo en las diversas etapas de producción; la elección del tema, escritura del guion, dirección de actores y elementos tan básicos como un simple: ¿dónde poner la cámara? Publicadas originalmente en la revista francesa Studio, las conversaciones de Tirard y los directores revelan detalles clave de la creación audiovisual, además de proponer procedimientos para superar obstáculos profesionales y hasta personales dentro del set. Roman Polanski, Martin Scorsese, Win Wenders, Pedro Almodóvar, Atom Egoyan, David Cronenberg, Jean-Pierre Jeunet, David Lynch, Alejandro G. Iñárritu, Joel y Ethan Coen, Takeshi Kitano, Wong Kar-wai, Jean-Luc Godard y Claude Chabrol, entre otros, se confiesan ante un autor ávido de respuestas elocuentes y útiles. Así, mientras Lars Von Trier habla de la espontaneidad del plano, con un estilo entre arrogante y enmarañado, Woody Allen explica de forma pausada y clara su sistema para filmar una escena y el trabajo con los actores. Los libros de Laurent Tirard no sólo son alta prioridad para estudiantes de cine, también encantarán al lector curioso en el quehacer del arte cinematográfico; son páginas que permiten entrar al epicentro mismo de la producción fílmica.
