Clint Eastwood: Interviews
It is a superb collection of interviews with one of the most popular and critically acclaimed actor/directors of his generation. Clint Eastwood (b. 1930) is the only popular American dramatic star to have shaped his own career almost entirely through films of his own producing frequently under his own direction; no other dramatic star has directed himself so often. He is also one of the most prolific active directors with thirty-three features to his credit since 1971. As a star he is often recalled primarily for two early roles - the Man with No Name" in three so-called Spaghetti Westerns and as the uncompromising "Dirty" Harry Callahan. But on his own as a director Eastwood has steered a remarkable course. It offers a film industry insider who works through the established
Hollywood system and respects its traditions he remains an outsider by steadfastly refusing to heed cultural and aesthetic trends in film production and film style. His films as director have examined an eclectic variety of themes ranging from the artists life to the nature of heroism while frequently calling into question the ethos of masculinity and his own star image. Yet they have remained accessible to a popular audience worldwide. With two Best Director and two Best Picture Oscars to his credit Eastwood now ranks among the most highly honoured living filmmakers. These interviews range over the more than four decades of Eastwoods directorial career with an emphasis on practical filmmaking issues and his philosophy as a filmmaker. Nearly a third are from European sources - several
appearing here in English for the first time."
