WOODY talks.... again
otro libro de conversaciones con Woody Allen, este de Eric Lax, el mismo que escribio
su biografia hace mas o menos una década
esta es la portada--gran portada:
El primero de estos libros,
Woody Allen on Woody Allen x Woody Allen y Stig Bjorkman apareció hace 13 años
y llegaba hasta Manhattan Murder Mystery.
Un libro que tengo subrayada entero. Bjorkman es un crítico de cine sueco que logró vencer la reticencia de Allen. Lax, por otro lado, es a estas alturas un amigo y si Allen aun le habla despues de la biografia, es que de alguna manera confia en él, por lo que estas entrevistas están armadas desde la república de la confianza
Este tomo nuevo de Lax fue editado a partir conversaciones y entrevistas que se hicieron a lo largo de 36 años aunque tb se hicieron muchas especialmente para el libro. El voluminoso libro (416 páginas de placer cinéfilo)
Esto es mas o menos lo que viene en este libro, que ya quisiera tener hoy en mis manos:
In discussions that begin in 1971 and continue into 2007, Allen discusses every facet of moviemaking through the prism of his own films and the work of directors he admires. In doing so, he reveals an artist’s development over the course of his career to date, from joke writer to standup comedian to world-acclaimed filmmaker. Woody talks about the seeds of his ideas and the writing of his screenplays; about casting and acting, shooting and directing, editing and scoring. He tells how he reworks screenplays even while filming them. He describes the problems he has had casting American men, and he explains why he admires the acting of (among many others) Alan Alda, Marlon Brando, Michael Caine, John Cusack, Judy Davis, Robert De Niro, Leonardo DiCaprio, Mia Farrow, Gene Hackman, Scarlett Johansson, Julie Kavner, Liam Neeson, Jack Nicholson, Charlize Theron, Tracey Ullman, Sam Waterston, and Dianne Wiest. He places Diane Keaton second only to Judy Holliday in the pantheon of great screen comediennes.
He discusses his favorite films (Citizen Kane is the lone American movie on his list of sixteen “best films ever made”; Duck Soup and Airplane! are two of his preferred “comedian’s films”; Trouble in Paradise and Born Yesterday among his favorite “talking plot comedies”). He describes himself as a boy in Brooklyn enthralled by the joke-laden movies of Bob Hope and the sophisticated film stories of Manhattan. As a director, he tells us what he appreciates about Bergman, De Sica, Fellini, Welles, Kurosawa, John Huston, and Jean Renoir. Throughout he shows himself to be thoughtful, honest, self–deprecating, witty, and often hilarious.
