"What a pleasure to read so much straight talk about filmmaking from these masters of the craft. Each interview is brimming with insight and honesty." Leonard MaltinIn this follow-up to "Moviemakers' Master Class," Laurent Tirard talks to twenty-one of today's most influential directors regarding what most matters to them about their work: why they became filmmakers, what draws them to different kinds of material, whether they prefer to write their own scripts, how they approach the technical problems of filming, and much more.Among the directors included are two younger filmmakers whose work has met with both critical and commercial success Steven Soderbergh and Quentin Tarantino as well as three who have directed some of the biggest blockbusters of all time George Lucas, James Cameron, and Peter Jackson and three favorites from the world of independent film Jim Jarmusch, Atom Egoyan, and Spike Lee. There are interviews with some of today's major European directors including Claire Denis and Mathieu Kassovitz and with great filmmakers whose work has stood the test of time, among them Arthur Penn and Sidney Lumet."
