"Covering the true originals of classic Hollywood, the masters of world cinema, the more distinctive contemporary filmmakers, and a number of downright eccentrics, The Director's Vision is a guide to 250 of the all-time great visual stylists.

It explores how these brilliant directors exploit the cinematic arts - composition, color, camera angle and movement, lighting, sound, sets, and action - to convey their thematic obsessions and artistic visions; and each entry is illustrated by a single, stunning film still that exemplifies their vision."--BOOK JACKET.

Excerpts

Like the titular exclamation mark, the rugged pugilist's profile and taut muscularity of Jack Palance - along with Burt Lancaster a classic Aldrich actor - typify the brute, even deranged frenzy of the director's anarchic, resolutely masculine world.
