This incisive introduction to the life and work of Orson Welles is an essential study of one of the most important American artists of the twentieth century. With special attention paid to the political; social; and cultural milieus in which Welles lived and worked; this in-depth personal essay and biographical portrait brings to life a filmmaker who is too often either mythologized or misrepresented; fully humanizing the man behind masterworks like Citizen Kane; The Magnificent Ambersons; Chimes at Midnight; and many more.

GotchyLong time coming...and worth the wait. While I had read reviews of other books written by Mr. Matsumoto; this is the first of his books that I have purchased and read. As the owner of a Sony A7ii; and a serious amateur photographer; I was well versed in the cameras use.....but this book has allowed me to go to a new level. The book includes the technical information that one would expect; but along with personal observations; recommendations; and useful examples; the writing is clean; crisp; and understandable (for the experienced and inexperienced photographer). The only downside of the book is that it has already cost me some money.....in that I took a couple of Brians suggestions to heart and added to my inventory of "old" and relatively "inexpensive" lenses as well as certain filters and a current Sony lens. A big thumbs up on this end.4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. This guide is as thorough as one could need. ...By StevenLThis guide is as thorough as one could need. Worth the price to have all this well written and well organized information in one place!One minor omission; the legacy lens adapter table 9-4 on page 237 does not list a Novoflex Adapter for Contax/Yashica lenses. Novoflex does in fact manufacture these; but are poorly identified in the catalog as an Adapter for Contax/Yashica Lens to Sony NEX Camera; as number NEX/CONT. I own one; it works perfectly on my A7II.3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Excellent companion book for the A7iiBy Robert StanekExcellent companion book for the A7ii. Better than the manual. Easy to read that helps make sense of the camera functions and menus.
