Roger Crittenden reveals the experiences of many of the greatest living European film editors through his warm and perceptive interviews which offer a unique insight into the art of editing – direct from masters of the craft. In their interviews, the editors relate their experience to the directors they have worked with, including: Agnes Guillemot- (Godard, Truffaut, Catherine Breillat), Roberto Perpignani- (Welles, Bertolucci, Tavianni Brothers) Sylvia Ingemarsson- (Ingmar Bergman,) Michal Leszczylowski- (Andrei Tarkovsky, Lukas Moodysson), Tony Lawson (Nic Roeg, Stanley Kubrick, Neil Jordan) and many more. This title includes a foreword by Walter Murch – three-time Oscar-winning editor of Apocalypse Now, The English Patient, American Graffiti, The Conversation and The Godfather, Part II and III. The cutting room is where you learn how to make films, where you face up to your limitations and realise what you should have done. So youd better have a good relationship with your editor. The people talking here are amongst the best., Treat them well, remarks Stephen Frears, director of Prick up Your Ears, My Beautiful Launderette, Dangerous Liaisons, The Grifters and The Snapper. The editors I know are full of insights and revealing stories about their work – this looks a good read, full of great anecdotes, observes Ken Loach – director of The Navigators, Land and Freedom, Kes and Sweet Sixteen.
