A propos du livre

Revue de presse

"Part manifesto, part instruction manual, Live Cinema is a melange of film theory, professional advice, personal history, television history, work notes and Coppola's assorted thoughts on live film production."

--Times Literary Supplement

"Part technical manifesto, part riveting history of live movies and TV, and part freewheeling artistic reflection, Live Cinema compactly presents Coppola s innovative ideas, depth of knowledge, and enduring passions in the live cinema space."

--Entertainment Weekly

"...a short, accessible, vividly personal, defiantly oddball and fascinating book."

--Viewfinder

"What is remarkable is Coppola's immersion in this experiment when he could be resting on his laurels, thinking about his winery...if live cinema turns out to be a dead-end, at least it leaves this guidebook to one man's passion."

--The Sunday Times

"...the ideas conjured in this brief, filmy volume will interest any movie nut."

--Books of the Year, The Sunday Times

"Coppola's natural abilities as a storyteller, regardless of the medium, are evident here. Sections dealing with his relationship to the prehistory of live cinema are as personally revealing as they are fascinating...This consummate filmmaker's enthusiasm for cinema is infectious."

--Publishers Weekly

Présentation de l'éditeur

"...an engaging guide to what [Coppola] believes is a visionary form of movie-making..." The Bookseller

So convinced is Francis Ford Coppola that "live cinema" will become a powerful medium within the larger film industry that he has crafted this instructional book, filled with lively anecdotes and invaluable lessons a boon for cinema addicts, film students and teachers alike. As digital movie-making, like live sports, can now be performed by one director or by a collaborative team working across the Internet, it is only a matter of time before "cinema auteurs" will create "live" films of the highest creative quality that will be sent instantly via satellite to be viewed in faraway theaters. Whether recounting his own boyhood obsession with film, tracing the origins of "live cinema" through a history of early film and live 1950s television shows, or presenting state-of-the-art techniques on everything from rehearsals to equipment, Coppola demonstrates that the spontaneity of this genre of "live cinema" will transport movie-making into a new era of creativity previously unimaginable.
