Schrader on Schrader is an essential collection of dialogues with one of the most genuinely fascinating and uncompromising writer-directors in American cinema. Raised as a Calvinist and therefore forbidden to indulge in 'worldly pleasures' such as movies, Paul Schrader nonetheless challenged his upbringing to become initially a leading film critic, then a prominent figure among the US 'movie brat' generation of the 1970s: writing the compelling screenplays for Martin Scorsese's Taxi Driver and Raging Bull and directing provocative films like Blue Collar, Hardcore, and American Gigolo.
Maturity has never satisfied his desire to explore 'difficult' themes, from adapting Kazantzakis' The Last Temptation for Scorsese, to depicting the unique lives of Mishima and Patty Hearst. Schrader on Schrader is a journey through this impressive body of work, including some of Schrader's most insightful critical essays.
