Wiley-Blackwell Companions to Fi lm Directors

The Wiley-Blackwell Companions to Film Directors survey key directors whose work together constitutes what we refer to as the Hollywood and world cinema canons. Whether on Haneke or Hitchcock, Bigelow or Bergman, Capra or the Coen brothers, each volume, comprising 25 or more newly commissioned essays written by leading experts, explores a canonical, contemporary, and/or controversial auteur in a sophisticated, authoritative, and multidimensional capacity. Individual volumes interrogate any number of subjects the directors oeuvre; dominant themes; well-known, worthy, and underrated films; stars, collaborators, and key influences; reception, reputation, and above all the directors intellectual currency in the scholarly world.
