Every great director has a secret method of working; but each one's is different. Martin Scorsese likes to prepare each shot with great precision in advance, so he has the opportunity to change everything if he feels the need. Lars von Trier, on the other hand, refuses to think about a shot before the moment of filming. And Bernardo Bertolucci tries to dream of his shots the night before. And if that doesn't work, he wanders the set alone with a visor, imagining the scenes before the actors and crew arrive.
In Master Class: Directing Lessons from the Most Significant Contemporary Filmmakers, Laurent Tirard talks with twenty-one of the most important directors of our time, allowing each to speak freely about the essence of their art. In these interviews, the directors explore their vision as well as their techniques, illuminating both the process and the person and helping us understand what makes each director - and their films - unique.
