Description
Schrader on Schrader is a collection of dialogues with Paul Schrader, one of the most fascinating and uncompromising writer-directors in American film. Raised with a Calvinist upbringing that forbade him from engaging with the world of cinema, Schrader defied his upbringing to pursue a career in film, writing screenplays for Scorsese's Taxi Driver and Raging Bull, and directing provocative pictures like Blue Collar and American Gigolo.
This updated edition explores Schrader's formidable body of work, including some of his finest critical essays, and updates the story to include his recent successes Affliction and Auto Focus, as well as his adventures in the making of Exorcist: The Beginning.
Through this collection, readers can gain insight into Schrader's unique perspective on film and his willingness to tackle 'difficult' material.
