Annotation: "Hollywood Interviews" brings together seven directors--Francis Ford Coppola, Brian de Palma, Martin Scorsese, Clint Eastwood, Tim Burton, and Joel and Ethan Coen--who together represent the leading auteurs of contemporary cinema. The interviews were all commissioned for the legendary film collective "Cahiers du Cinema," the first group of critics to treat films, particularly Hollywood films, as a serious art form. Conducted in the tradition of "Cahiers"' famously in-depth, critical and engaged style, these interviews catch each director at a crucial juncture in his development as an artist, and stand as a historical record of Hollywood's dominance in cinematic art.

Publisher Description:
There are no good and bad movies, only good and bad directors. Francois Truffaut's famous statement defined a new way of seeing cinema as an art form and its directors as artists or auteurs. The Hollywood Interviews brings together five of the greatest of contemporary auteur directors - Francis Ford Coppola, Brian de Palma, Martin Scorsese, Clint Eastwood and Tim Burton - and the directorial team of the Coen brothers. Together, they represent some of the leading directors of the last twenty years of cinema. All are auteurs, directors with vision whose movies reflect their particular obsessions and ways of seeing the world.The interviews were all commissioned for the legendary film collective, Cahiers du Cinema, the first group of critics to treat films, particularly Hollywood films, as a serious art form. Conducted in the tradition of Cahiers' famously in-depth, critical and engaged style, these interviews catch each director at a crucial juncture in their development.
