"Covering the true originals of classic Hollywood, the masters of world cinema, the more distinctive contemporary filmmakers, and a number of downright eccentrics, The Director's Vision is a guide to 250 of the all-time great visual stylists. It explores how these brilliant directors exploit the cinematic arts - composition, color, camera angle and movement, lighting, sound, sets, and action - to convey their thematic obsessions and artistic visions; and each entry is illustrated by a single, stunning film still that exemplifies their vision."--BOOK JACKET.
