Description

From Scorsese and Lynch to Wenders and Godard: interviews with twenty of the world's greatest directors on how they make films—and why. Each great filmmaker has a secret method to moviemaking, and each is different. In Moviemakers' Master Class, Laurent Tirard talks to an illustrious collection of today's greatest directors to get to the core of their approach to cinema. The results shed a unique light on the mysteries of the directorial process. Martin Scorsese, we learn, likes setting up each shot very precisely in advance. Lars von Trier, on the other hand, refuses to think about a setup until the day of filming. Bernardo Bertolucci dreams his shots the night before. Other directors featured include Woody Allen, Pedro Almodóvar, Tim Burton, the Coen brothers, Jean-Pierre Jeunet and Wong Kar-Wai.
