Albert Maysles has created some of the most influential documentaries of the postwar period. Such films as Salesman;Gimme Shelter; and Grey Gardens continue to generate intense debate about the ethics and aesthetics of the documentary form. In this in-depth study; Joe McElhaney offers a novel understanding of the historical relevance of Maysles. By closely focusing on Maysless expressive use of his camera; particularly in relation to the filming of the human figure; this book situates Maysless films within not only documentary film history but film history in general; arguing for their broad-ranging importance to both narrative film and documentary cinema. Complete with an engaging interview with Maysles and a detailed comparison of the variant releases of his documentary on the Beatles (Whats Happening: The Beatles in the U.S.A. and The Beatles: The First U.S. Visit); this work is a pivotal study of a significant filmmaker.

As a Jane Austen junkie. and as a coloring book junkie. I was naturally pleased to discover that there was a PP Coloring Book!!! And when the product arrived I was doubly pleased. The artists natural ability shows. as does an intense knowledge of the era and the work. The scenes excerpted and displayed on the page are already vibrant in black and white -- cant wait to add color!! Thank you! I love the map too! I hope Sense and Sensibility is next!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Passionate Wonderful Coloring BookBy JBYou can tell that the authors were passionate about this book. Of course its just for coloring. but there is a real storytelling here. especially in facial expressions. Willoughby is as perfectly dastardly as Darcy is handsome. There are lots of fun detail and the clothes are great! Though there are many easy pages. the complex ones were hard to color so use colored pencils. Have fun!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Three StarsBy colleenaase@hotmail.Nice pics
