"For thirty-five years, David Thomson's Biographical Dictionary of Film has been "fiendishly seductive" (Greil Marcus, Rolling Stone), "the finest reference book ever written about movies" (Graham Fuller, Interview), and "not only an indispensable book about cinema, but one of the most absurdly ambitious literary achievements of our time" (Geoff Dyer, The Guardian). For this edition, Thomson has brought up to date and in some cases recast the biographies, and has added new ones (Clive Owen, Scarlett Johansson, Jake Gyllenhaal, and Heath Ledger, for example). The book now includes almost 1,500 entries, some of them just a pungent paragraph, some of them several thousand words long, every one a gem." "Here is a great, rare book that encompasses the chaos of art, entertainment, money, vulgarity, and nonsense that we call the movies, Personal opinionated, funny, daring, provocative, and passionate, it is the one book that every filmmaker and film buff must own, from the man David Hare called "the most stimulating and thoughtful film critic now writing.""--Jacket. 650 0 Motion picture actors and actresses|vBiography |vDictionaries. 650 0 Motion pictures|vBiography|vDictionaries. 650 7 Motion picture actors and actresses.|2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01027096 650 7 Motion pictures.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01027285 650 7 Actors|vBiography|vDictionaries.|2sears 650 7 Motion pictures|vBiography|vDictionaries.|2sears 650 7 Film.|0(DE-588)4017102-4|2gnd 650 7 Filmschaffender.|0(DE-588)4154376-2|2gnd 655 7 Biography|vDictionaries.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01423824 956 20160323 |bpfmcq|cCC 957 OCLC xref loaded 20160403 994 C0|bCUY
