In the New Yorker, Stephen Schiff has described Fred Schepisi (b.
1939) as "probably the least-known great director working in the
mainstreamAmerican cinema-a master storyteller with a serenely
muscular style that can make more flamboyant moviemakers look
coarse and overweening." Schepisi's launch in Australia during the
country's film renaissance of the 1970s and his ongoing
international work have rightfully earned him a reputation as an
actors' director. But he has also become a skillful stylist,
forging his own way as he works alongside a talented team of
collaborators. This volume includes twenty interviews with Schepisi
andtwo with longtime collaborators, cinematographer Ian Baker and
composer Paul Grabowsky. The interviews trace the filmmaker's
career from his beginnings in advertising, through his two early
Australian features-The Devil's Playground and The Chant of Jimmie
Blacksmith-to his subsequent work in the United Statesand beyond on
films as various as Plenty, Roxanne, A Cry in the Dark, The Russia
House, Six Degrees of Separation, Empire Falls, Last Orders, and
Eye of the Storm. Schepisi's films are diverse thematically and
visually. In what is effectively a master class on film direction,
Schepisi discusses his creative choices and his workwith actors and
collaborators behind the scenes. In the process, he provides a
goldmine of insights into his films, his filmmaking style, and what
makes him tick as an artist.
