Description

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.

Author Biography:

Born in Grand Rapids, Michigan, in 1946, Paul Schrader was raised in a Calvinist household where movies were proscribed. He made up for lost time by becoming first a gifted critic, then the screenwriter of Taxi Driver and Raging Bull, then the director of a string of cerebral and provocative films, including Blue Collar (1978), American Gigolo (1980), Mishima (1985), Patty Hearst (1988), The Comfort of Strangers (1990) and Affliction (1997). His latest film is Autofocus (2002).
