Title: A great exploration in unknown filmmakers
Product review: The Director's Vision has been a great introduction to many filmmakers that I was previously unaware of. The book does not give much context to each filmmaker except for a 1/2 page blurb of a key film in their career and a short "see also" feature. What it has done for me is given me the groundwork to explore many different cinematic directions that I was previously unaware of. I was quite able to put these films into context after viewing them. In other words, I would much rather see a film and then discuss it than read extensively about it, put it in context, and then see it. This book is not for the well-read cinephile. It is simply an introduction that lets the film speak for itself.
