Description
Erich von Stroheim was a giant in American film history, known for his uncompromising approach to cinema. His films were often criticized for their inflated budgets and extraordinary length, leading to conflicts with producers and studio executives. Despite his success, Stroheim's career was marked by controversy and myth-making. Arthur Lennig's biography sets the record straight, revealing a complex and fascinating individual who was both an outsider and a master of his craft. From his early days as a Jewish immigrant in Vienna to his rise as a Hollywood director, Stroheim's life is a story of contradictions and reinventions. This book offers a fresh perspective on one of cinema's most enigmatic figures, drawing on extensive research into European and American archives. With its balanced and nuanced approach, it provides a compelling portrait of a man who was both brilliant and troubled, and whose legacy continues to fascinate audiences today.
