Part of a series that explores film craft through interviews with prominent practitioners, this volume focuses on directing and includes the personal thoughts of an international group of 15 famous directors (and one team of co-directors) on how they learned and practice their craft. The directors included are Pedro Almodóvar, Olivier Assayas, Susanne Bier, Nuri Bilge Ceylan, Jean-Pierre Dardenne and Luc Dardenne, Guillermo del Toro, Clint Eastwood, Stephen Frears, Terry Gilliam, Amos Gitai, Paul Greengrass, Michael Haneke, Park Chan-wook, István Szabó, Peter Weir, and Zhang Yimou.
