Information On "Out Of The Mainstream" Subjects Too,
By
This review is from: Film Directors: A Complete Guide: 14th Edition 1999 (Paperback)
In 1958, in a small avante-garde art film theater in Dallas, Texas (Yes, Dallas!) I saw a Russian made film of Dostoevsky's "The Idiot." A stark, realistic, black and white film, it made a lasting impression on me. In later years I could never find a reference to this film anywhere. I almost began to think that I had imagined seeing it. Finally, along came my copy of FILM DIRECTORS: A COMPLETE GUIDE. There it was! I really had seen it. It was directed by Ivan Pyriev, a Soviet director who had died in 1968. My point here is that this guide to directors is much more than one might guess, having complete sections on subjects such as "Notable Directors of the Past," and being cross referencing by film titles. It is of course, useful for more mundane purposes such as finding the names of agents, or winning your bet on film trivia. I find that I refer to it frequently for a number of reasons, but will always be particularly thankful for its sections of information on out of date and out of the mainstream subjects.
