Academy Award-winning director William Friedkin (b. 1935) is best
known for his critically and commercially successful films The
French Connection and The Exorcist. Unlike other film
school-educated filmmakers of the directors' era, Friedkin got his
start as a mailroom clerk at a local TV station and worked his way
up to becoming a full-blown Hollywood filmmaker by his thirties.
His rapid rise behind the camera from television director to Oscar
winner came with self-confidence and unorthodox methods. Known for
his gritty and auteurist style, Friedkin's films tell the story of
a changing America upended by crime, hypocrisy, the occult, and
amorality. Although his subsequent films achieved varying levels of
success, his cultural impact is undeniable. William Friedkin:
Interviews collects fifteen articles, interviews, and seminars
spanning Friedkin's career. He discusses early influences, early
successes, awards, and current projects. The volume provides
coverage of his directorial process, beliefs, and anecdotes from
his time serving as the creative force of some of the biggest films
of the 1970s and beyond-from his early days in Chicago, to his
run-ins with Alfred Hitchcock, to firing guns on set and witnessing
an actual exorcism in Italy. Through previously unpublished and
obscure interviews and seminars, the story of William Friedkin's
work and life is woven together into a candid and concise
impression for cinephiles, horror junkies, and aspiring filmmakers
alike. Readers will gain insight into Friedkin's genius from his
own perspectives and discover the thoughts and processes of a true
maverick of American cinema.
