内容简介

导演在幕后操作，管理演员，建立一个有凝聚力的创意愿景，有时甚至是用摄像机的眼睛引导我们的眼睛。但是，我们常常被屏幕上的愿景所吸引，以至于很容易忘记在屏幕外策划整个制作的人--更不用说他们调动了一个剧本、一个工作室和其他人的钱。大卫-汤姆森以其一贯的深刻见解，照亮了那些塑造了现代电影的有远见的导演，并通过他们的作品研究了电影导演的本质。汤姆森对自己的乐趣和失望有着一贯的坦率，他分析了奥森-威尔斯、阿尔弗雷德-希区柯克、让-雷诺阿和让-吕克-戈达尔等经典导演的标志性作品和被遗忘的电影，以及简-坎皮恩、斯派克-李和昆汀-塔伦蒂诺等当代强人。他精明地审视了他们的职业遗产和在业界的影响力，同时评估了艺术家的个人生活对其作品的关键影响。他探讨了男性导演在过去的主导地位，并描述了多样性如何能改变局面。审慎、生动、诙谐，《黑暗中的光芒》是每个电影爱好者书架上的又一本汤姆森必读书目。

Directors operate behind the scenes, managing actors, establishing a cohesive creative vision, at times literally guiding our eyes with the eye of the camera. But we are often so dazzled by the visions on-screen that it is easy to forget the individual who is off-screen orchestrating the entire production--to say nothing of their having marshaled a script, a studio, and other people's money. David Thomson, in his usual brilliantly insightful way, shines a light on the visionary directors who have shaped modern cinema and, through their work, studies the very nature of film direction. With his customary candor about his own delights and disappointments, Thomson analyzes both landmark works and forgotten films from classic directors such as Orson Welles, Alfred Hitchcock, Jean Renoir, and Jean-Luc Godard, as well as contemporary powerhouses such as Jane Campion, Spike Lee, and Quentin Tarantino. He shrewdly interrogates their professional legacies and influence in the industry, while simultaneously assessing the critical impact of an artist's personal life on his or her work. He explores the male directors' dominance of the past, and describes how diversity can change the landscape. Judicious, vivid, and witty, A Light in the Dark is yet another required Thomson text for every movie lover's shelf.
