“The Director’s Idea explains in precise language how cinematography influences every aspect of story-telling and character portrayal in a film–it will certainly help young directors understand the importance of making critical choices along the way. It is especially useful to talk about camerawork in the context of a book about directing–linking the technical and creative aspects is the key to great film-making.”
–Michael Ballhaus, Cinematographer, THE GANGS OF NEW YORK and WORKING GIRL
“Ken Dancyger interprets my films accurately, intelligently, but most importantly for me, with a great deal of heart. He allows himself to be gripped by a character, to be moved by a powerful performance, and that is why he so clearly understands the priority of emotion in my films, that the personal journey defines the political story, and not the other way around. The beauty of Dancyger’s book about directing is that he writes simultaneously as an impressive intellectual and as a lover of cinema. That is rare and refreshing”
–Margarethe Von Trotta, Director, ROSENSTRASSE and MARIANNE AND JULIANNE
