raquo;Die Wahrheit tritt nicht in unser Leben; um uns mit Kuuml;ssen und Trauml;nen zu wecken; aber wir alle sind unruhig; wir alle sind bereitlaquo;; schreibt der Schweizer Autor und Regisseur Milo Rau in seinem 2008 entstandenen autobiografischen Essay raquo;Nachmittag eines Linksfaschistenlaquo;. Der vorliegende Band versammelt Texte Raus aus 10 Jahren und zeigt den raquo;Theaterrevolutionauml;rlaquo; (Der Spiegel) in allen erdenklichen Facetten: als kauml;mpferischen Reporter und ironischen Autobiografen; als Liebhaber von Euripides genauso wie von Nicole Kidman. Ob Filmkritik zu David Lynch; Essay zu Roland Barthes oder Traumprotokoll; ob auml;sthetisches Manifest oder soziologische Miniatur: Rau ist stets ganz nahe am Gegenstand und zugleich auf Augenhouml;he mit der Weltgeschichte. Und auch die tiefsinnigste Betrachtung greift aus ins politische Engagement. Er agiert ganz nach dem Motto seines legendauml;ren Weblogs raquo;Althussers Hauml;ndelaquo;: raquo;Ich weiszlig; sehr wohl; wie widerspruuml;chlich man sein muss; um wirklich konsequent zu sein.laquo;

3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Dear Hollywood; Love HowardBy JasonAs an aspiring screenwriter; Ive read too many books on the subject; even books that arent directly about it. This book is not limited to screenwriting; however; but to any major entity in the business so to speak. If youre reading this review; then Im assuming youre one of us...one of us...one of us...Anyway; do yourself a favor and buy this book. This is NOT a how to book. This is zen-like; philosophical book that offers advice on how to survive the cruel; cruel world that is known as Hollywood. Think of Phil Jackson writing a book on basketball (oh wait; he did) and there you have it. If youre looking for a magic pill that will win the big fight; Im sorry; it doesnt exist. But if you wanna learn how to throw a punch (or dodge one!); check this book out.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Simple; Realistic Advice From a Veteran MentorBy Winston CI must admit; I approached this book with apprehension as I find most "advise" books about the film industry to be nothing more than a narrowly focused how-to look at the authors choices that got them to whatever amazing job they have; or how they made their project; etc.This is not that book - its SO MUCH BETTER! Reading each short letter is like eavesdropping on a conversation in the hallway of one of the best film schools in the world; hearing a seasoned mentor talking with a student. But its not the do this than that sort of story I was expecting. Each letter is about setting realistic expectations; thinking a strategy through; evaluating your options; and breaking down a problem so the student can find their own solution. The book finishes strong; with a very realistic look at the life of a professional in the film business; and a wonderfully succinct look at the complexities of copyright.This is a must read for anyone seriously considering a career in the entertainment industry.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Telling Stories for a LivingBy Jason K.Joan Didon once wrote that "we tell ourselves stories in order to live."This is a book about how storytellers make a living. In it Howard Suber; UCLA Film Professor of almost 50 years; answers young filmmakers essential questions; such as:How do I get an Agent?How do I choose collaborators?How do I stay creative?How do films get made?How do I choose a mentor?What kind of day job should I choose?What kind of people "make it" after film school?Howards answers are simple; sage and straightforward. They chart the highs and lows of choosing a life based on creative collaboration. This is not another "How to Write a Screenplay" book; its "How to Survive as a Screenwriter; Director or Producer." Its contents can be read in an afternoon and implemented over a lifetime.Simply put; its essential reading for anyone interested not in "how to make a film;" but in how to get a film made.
