In this concise study; Nicole Brenez argues for Abel Ferrararsquo;s place in a line of grand inventors who have blurred distinctions between industry and avant-garde film; including Orson Welles; Monte Hellman; and Nicholas Ray. Rather than merely reworking genre film; Brenez understands Ferrararsquo;s oeuvre as formulating new archetypes that depict the evil of the modern world. Focusing as much on the human figure as on elements of storytelling; she argues that films such as Bad Lieutenant express this evil through visionary characters struggling against the inadmissible (inadmissible behavior; morality; images; and narratives).

Hearing him personally describe his approach in his own words made so many things clear to me that were not immediately clear in his books. What a treasure for anyone wanting to hear it straight from the man himself! Highly recommended for any library or interested student.6 of 6 people found the following review helpful. A MasterclassBy BurkeheartThis is a wonderful audio book which is a must for anyone interested in Drama and the actors art.It was recorded in California in 1955 - the year Michael Chekhov died. The listener has expounded for him/her - in Chekhovs own warm and inimitable tones - the secrets of acting. Chekovs approach is comprehensive - physical ; psychological and spiritual.Just to listen is enriching.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
