Movie Makers: 50 Iconic Directors

Movie Makers traces the evolution of cinema from the silent era to the present through the lives and works of 50 great directors. Opening with D.W. Griffith – the founding father of American cinema – and closing with Quentin Tarantino – the architect of controversially violent, but iconic, films – Ian Freer presents a remarkable range of cinema's luminaries. Writing with infectious enthusiasm, he profiles the masters of cinema, such as Hitchcock, Scorsese, Luis Bunuel and Jean-Luc Godard. Accompanying each chapter is a list of 'must-see movies' showcasing their very best work.
