Revue de presse :

A unique look behind the art of screen adaptation from an acknowledged master. --David Parfitt, Oscar winning producer of SHAKESPEARE IN LOVE

That rarest of things among screenwriting manuals - a treasure trove of brilliant advice from an esteemed practitioner - someone who's not only written films, but won Oscars for them. By page 6, I'd come across one of the best pieces of writing-related advice I'd ever read. By page 50, every other margin was marked with my own grateful 'yes, yes'. --Jeremy Dyson, writer of THE LEAGUE OF GENTLEMEN and novelist

Ronald Harwood offers a learned, entertaining and practical guide that will become essential for students, budding writers and professionals. An enormously enlightening masterclass on the inner workings of scriptwriting and how to get from page to screen with inventiveness and integrity. With its sound advice for all forms of writing, this is a faithful companion to anyone working towards truthful, dynamic and successful writing. --Mark Goodall, Head of Film Studies, University of Bradford

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Oscar Nominated once again for THE DIVING BELL & THE BUTTERFLY, Ronald Harwood's position as one of our greatest living screenwriters is indisputable. His latest book, Ronald Harwood's Adaptations, is the first ever exclusively devoted to writing for the cinema from an Oscar-winning screenwriter. Here, the practice, not the theory, of scriptwriting is laid bare. This book does not tell you how to do it, but rather, how you can do it.
