5.0 out of 5 stars Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Paul Schrader!, May 30, 2002

Scott Bradley (Los Angeles, California USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Schrader on Schrader & Other Writings (Directors on Directors Series) (Paperback)

If you ever wondered what goes on in the mind of the screenwriter who gave us TAXI DRIVER and RAGING BULL (as well as directing such films as the remake of CAT PEOPLE and the literary biopic MISHIMA), then look no further than this absolutely wonderful collection of interviews with Paul Schrader. Covering everything from his thematic obsessions to his writing and directing methods (as well as including a selection of critical writings by Schrader from his pre-filmmaking days as a critic), Kevin Jackson has done a wonderful job with this book - my personal favorite in the great Faber & Faber series (which also includes CRONENBERG ON CRONENBERG and SCORSESE ON SCORSESE). Must reading!
