De Russische regisseur Andrei Tarkovski (1932-1986) behoort met Ingmar Bergman en Akiro Kurosawa tot de grote, visionaire filmmakers van de tweede helft van de twintigste eeuw. In al zijn films, van De jeugd van Ivan, die in Venetië in 1962 werd bekroond met de Gouden Leeuw, Andrei Roebljov, Solaris, De spiegel, Stalker, Nostalghia, tot aan zijn laatste Het offer, die in Cannes in 1986 met de 'Grand Prix Spécial' werd onderscheiden, legt Tarkovski telkens getuigenis af van zijn persoonlijke en poëtische visie op het leven. Hij is een archeoloog van de verbeelding en de herinnering, die in zijn verzet tegen het sociaal-realisme aansluiting zoekt bij de traditie van negentiende-eeuwse Russische schrijvers als Dostojevski en Tolstoj.In De verzegelde tijd schrijft Tarkovski voor het eerst over zijn films. Het boek verschaft de lezer een oorspronkelijk inzicht in de persoonlijke en artistieke drijfveren van Tarkovski. Hij beschrijft uitgebreid zijn inspiratiebronnen, zijn methode van werken en zijn visie op de taak van de kunstenaar in onze tijd. Het boek bevat een groot aantal setfoto's en stills uit Tarkovski's films, aangevuld met gedichten van zijn vader, Arseni Tarkovski, en wordt gecompleteerd door een volledige filmografie.

Knjiga Zapečaćeno vreme je svojevrsni filozofski traktat o teoriji filma i umetnosti uopšte, legendarnog ruskog i sovjetskog filmskog, pozorišnog i operskog režisera, pisca, glumca, montažera i teoretičara filma, Andreja Arsenjeviča Tarkovskog, po mnogima jednog od najznačajnijih i najuticajnijih ruskih filmskih umetnika i jednog od najvećih režisera u svetskoj istoriji kinematografije.Ovo je delo koje je sazrevalo dugi niz godina, od sredine šezdesetih godina XX veka pa do autorove smrti 1986. godine. Naime, Tarkovski je tokom čitavog života svoja razmišljanja o suštini filmske umetnosti, o poetici i misiji filma, o ulozi filmskog stvaraoca i njegovoj odgovornosti pred publikom i samim sobom, o sopstvenom stvaralaštu, profesiji i životu iznosio u mnogobrojnim člancima i intervjuima, zapisivao u svojim dnevnicima, prenosio studentima na predavanjima i publici na susretima.U toku čitavog života svako od nas pokušava da nađe odgovore na pitanja, koja oduvek muče ljudski rod: Šta je to sećanje? Šta je to savest? Šta je to ljubav?.. Zapečaćeno vreme i filmovi Tarkovskog daju odgovore na ova pitanja.

In this twentieth-anniversary millennial edition, Kolker continues and expands his inquiry into the cinematic representation of culture by updating and revising the chapters on the directors discussed in the first edition-- Stanley Kubrick, Martin Scorsese, Robert Altman, and Steven Spielberg-- to include their most important works since 1988, analyzing those films which have made important advances in the directors' careers and which have given cause for rethinking the films that preceded them. Included is a profile of Arthur Penn's career followed by a new comparative study of Oliver Stone, who mirrors Penn's practice of drawing his films out of historical and ideological currents. Placing the films of Penn, Stone, Kubrick, Scorsese, Spielberg, and Altman in an ideological perspective, Kolker both illuminates their relationship to one another and to larger currents in our culture, and emphasizes the statements their films make about American society and culture. This edition includes a new preface, a requiem for Stanley Kubrick, updated filmography, and 48 images from various films discussed through the text.

An invaluable set of career-length interviews with the German genius hailed by François Truffaut as "the most important film director alive"Most of what we've heard about Werner Herzog is untrue. The sheer number of false rumors and downright lies disseminated about the man and his films is truly astonishing. Yet Herzog's body of work is one of the most important in postwar European cinema. His international breakthrough came in 1973 with Aguirre, The Wrath of God, in which Klaus Kinski played a crazed Conquistador. For The Enigma of Kaspar Hauser, Herzog cast in the lead a man who had spent most of his life institutionalized, and two years later he hypnotized his entire cast to make Heart of Glass. He rushed to an explosive volcanic Caribbean island to film La Soufrière, paid homage to F. W. Murnau in a terrifying remake of Nosferatu, and in 1982 dragged a boat over a mountain in the Amazon jungle for Fitzcarraldo. More recently, Herzog has made extraordinary "documentary" films such as Little Dieter Needs to Fly. His place in cinema history is assured, and Paul Cronin's volume of dialogues provides a forum for Herzog's fascinating views on the things, ideas, and people that have preoccupied him for so many years.

David Lynch erupted onto the cinema landscape in 1977 with Eraserhead, establishing himself as one of the most original and imaginative directors at work in contemporary cinema. Over the course of his career, he has remained true to a vision of the innocent lost in darkness and confusion, balancing hallucination and surrealism with a sense of Americana that is as pure and simple as his compelling storylines. In this volume, Lynch speaks openly about his films as well as about his lifelong commitment to painting, his work in photography, his television projects, and his musical collaborations with Angelo Badalamenti.

Since his death in 1989, John Cassavettes has become increasingly renowned as a cinematic hero--a renegade loner who fought the Hollywood system, steering his own creative course in a career spanning thirty years. Having already established himself as an actor, he struck out as a filmmaker in 1959 with Shadows, and proceeded to build a formidable body of work, including such classics as Faces, Woman Under the Influence, The Killing of a Chinese Bookie, and Gloria. In Cassavettes on Cassavettes, Ray Carney presents the great director in his own words--frank, uncompromising, humane, and passionate about life and art.
