Conversations about cinema and filmmaking
19.99 €
"Conversations on Cinema and Film Directing" is not a textbook or dry theory, but a lively, sincere, sometimes bitter, but always deeply professional reflection on how great films are born, why literature is the mother of cinema, how editing works in the prose of Tolstoy and Pushkin, and why a director must "see" even what isn't written in the script.
Romm analyzes his own works in detail—from Lenin in 1918 to Nine Days of One Year—recalls creative encounters with Shchukin, Vanin, and Sergei Eisenstein, reflecting on the nature of the image, the power of silent action, the danger of clichés, and the true drama of life.
At the core of everything is the conviction that cinema is a responsible, popular, and deeply human art. It requires not so much theories as honesty, patience, the ability to watch and listen, and a constant willingness to learn.
This book is for anyone who loves cinema as a form of thought, who is interested in directing, literature, and art in general. It will be valuable to aspiring filmmakers and VGIK students, as well as viewers seeking a deeper understanding of the language of cinema and the vision, truth, and human warmth behind the scenes.
"Conversations on Cinema and Film Directing" is more than just a book about the profession. It is a master's confession, addressed to the future of art.
