Richard Lester
ISBN: 9780719067563 / Angielski / Twarda / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 25-30 dni roboczych. Richard Lester is of the most significant yet misunderstood directors of the post-war era. Indelibly associated with the Beatles and the 'swinging Sixties' because of his direction of 'A Hard Day's Night' and 'Help' and his joyous sex comedy 'The Knack', Lester has tended to be categorised as a modish director whose heyday passed when that decade's optimism slid into disillusionment and violence.
This book offers a critical appreciation and reappraisal of his work, arguing that it had much greater depth and variety than he has been given credit for. His versatility encompasses the...

Broken Mirrors/Broken Minds, which dissects such Argento cult films as Two Evil Eyes, The Bird with the Crystal Plumage, Suspiria, and Deep Red, includes a new introduction discussing Argento's most recent films, from The Stendahl...
