[audiobook] The BIM Manager's Handbook; Part 2: Change Management by Dominik Holzer at Arts-Photography

Description

Known for his visual style as well as for his experimentation in virtually every genre of narrative cinema; award-winning director Sidney J. Furie also has the distinction of having made Canadas first ever feature-length fictional film in English; A Dangerous Age (1957). With a body of work that includes The Ipcress File (1965); Lady Sings the Blues (1972); and The Entity (1982); he has collaborated with major stars such as Marlon Brando; Frank Sinatra; Robert Redford; and Michael Caine; and his films have inspired some of Hollywoods most celebrated directors; including Stanley Kubrick and Quentin Tarantino.In this first biography of the prolific filmmaker; author Daniel Kremer offers a comprehensive look at the directors unique career. Furie pioneered techniques such as improvisation in large-scale film productions; and sometimes shot his films in sequence to develop the characters from the ground up and improve the performers in-the-moment spontaneity. Not only has Stanley Kubrick acknowledged that Furies The Boys in Company C (1978) informed and influenced Full Metal Jacket (1987); but Martin Scorsese has said that he considers The Entity to be one of the scariest horror films of all time. However; Furie was often later criticized for accepting lowbrow work; and as a result; little serious study has been devoted to the director.Meticulously researched and enhanced by Kremers close relationship with the filmmaker; this definitive biography captures the highs and lows of an exceptional but underexamined career; taking readers behind the scenes with a director who was often ahead of his time.
