Directed by Clint Eastwood: Eighteen Films AnalyzedMcFarland & Company, 1996 - 217 pages Though best known as an actor, Clint Eastwood has been directing films for 25 years. In that time little has been written about his style or viewpoint. Eastwood has embraced personal projects that investigate the perils of being an artist (such as Bronco Billy and Honkytonk Man) or a misfit or loner (e.g., Breezy and A Perfect World). Eastwood's 18 films as director are analyzed here, showing that they are more a part of his stylistic or aesthetic vision and not merely a showcase for his formidable public persona. |
