Paperback. Raised as a Calvinist and so forbidden to consume such 'worldly pleasures' as movies, Paul Schrader defied his upbringing to become first a film critic, then a star pupil among the US 'movie brat' generation of the 1970s: writing the coruscating screenplays for Scorsese's Taxi Driver and Raging Bull and directing such provocative pictures as Blue Collar, Hardcore, American Gigolo, Mishima and Patty Hearst. This updated volume discusses recent work including Affliction and the Exorcist prequel. Provides a set of dialogues with one of the writer-directors in American film.
