But he has also become a skillful stylist, forging his own way as he works alongside a talented team of collaborators.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis volume includes twenty interviews with Schepisi andtwo with longtime collaborators, cinematographer Ian Baker and composer Paul Grabowsky. The interviews trace the filmmaker’s career from his beginnings in advertising, through his two early Australian features—\u003cem\u003eThe Devil’s Playground\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eThe Chant of Jimmie Blacksmith\u003c\/em\u003e—to his subsequent work in the United Statesand beyond on films as various as \u003cem\u003ePlenty, Roxanne, A Cry in the Dark, The Russia House, Six Degrees of Separation, Empire Falls, Last Orders\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eEye of the Storm\u003c\/em\u003e. Schepisi’s films are diverse thematically and visually. In what is effectively a master class on film direction, Schepisi discusses his creative choices and his workwith actors and collaborators behind the scenes. In the process, he provides a goldmine of insights into his films, his filmmaking style, and what makes him tick as an artist.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"University Press of Mississippi","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52600324292888,"sku":"9781496811479","price":38.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/fred-schepisi-interviews-hardback-9781496811479","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
