Ethan and Joel Coen have carved out their niche as America's preeminent independent filmmakers. Their films are quirky, arresting, comic, and intelligent. Not given to talking publicly about their work, they have given access to William Preston Robertson and Tricia Cooke to interview the cast and crew of their latest film, The Big Lebowski. In a prose style that complements the Coens's filmic one, the book discusses the Coens's oeuvre, the themes of their films, their atypical brand of humor, their craft and their artistic vision. Several scenes of The Big Lebowski are examined closely to see how the movie goes from idea to reality, making this an ideal book for fans, filmmakers, and filmmaking students.The Big Lebowski is a razor-sharp comedy thriller of mistaken identity, gangsters, bowling, kidnapping, and money gone astray, written by the Coens, directed by Joel Coen, and produced by Ethan Coen. In addition to Jeff Bridges and John Goodman, the film stars Steve Buscemi, Julianne Moore, John Turturro, Willem DaFoe, Sam Elliot, and Ben Gazzara. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

In addition to the Coens, he also interviewed the storyboard artist, the cinematographer, the production designer, and the costume designer. In the last section of the book, we get to see three complete scenes from the original script, to storyboard, costume design, to screen stills, with specific commentary on their role and vision for each scene from each of the above participants. The brothers are notorious for having their movies meticulously planned out before shooting, and you can see it in this last section, where the scenes look just like the script and the storyboards with almost no changes.
The tone of the book is very casual, and Robertson likes to get the occasional gentle ribbing of his friends in, which was sometimes fun, sometimes a little irritating. As a huge fan of the film, and of the Coen brothers in general, it was an interesting, quick read and I think I got a good glimpse of the process. ( )
