3.0 out of 5 stars
A good reference, but missing some key filmmakers,
By "flaxglor" (Burbank, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Encyclopedia of Great Filmmakers (Paperback)
Sergio Leone, James Cameron, David Cronenberg, Tim Burton, and Dario Argento are all noticeably missing from this text. It would be hard to name every influential filmmaker of all time but that is precisely what the title of "encyclopedia" implies. Consistency is important as well -- how does one name a filmmaker like Tarantino (pre-Kill Bill) and not make reference to Robert Rodriguez or Kevin Smith?! Admittedly, they are still as of yet unproven as "auteurs" but they have revolutionized the field of indie filmmaking perhaps even more than Quentin himself. Two of my favorites that I hope will finally get some respect, having gone from ultra low-budget filmmaking to the mainstream are Sam Raimi and Peter Jackson. Perhaps the next edition... |
