Ya con cinco o seis años se juega casi siempre a ser otro: «yo era el ladrón y entraba en tu casa y tú el policía y me detenías y yo...». O sea, esto es un instinto natural. Precisamente habría que p

El trabajo con los intérpretes constituye la dimensión más relevante a la par que ignorada de la realización audiovisual. Su carácter práctico y la dependencia de factores difíciles de objetivar, como el talento, la inspiracion de terceros, el gusto personal o las caracteristicas del proyecto en concreto, convierten la direccion de actores en una disciplina escasamente abordada por los manuales. Sin embargo, se trata de una rama mas de la tecnica, que puede ejercitarse y aprenderse. El presente manual esta orientado a estudiantes y en general a quienes aspiren a crear obras de ficcion.

Ai Lijima es una adolescente que descubre el sexo con apenas catorce años. Cada vez menos interesada en los estudios y cansada de la intransigencia de sus padres, su única vía de escape son las discotecas y los karaokes de Tokio, que frecuenta hasta altas horas de la madrugada. La ira de su padre va creciendo hasta que un día, ofuscado, la golpea brutalmente, y Ai decide marcharse de casa. Así comienza su particular descenso a los infiernos: primero trabaja de camarera en un night club, más tarde entra en el mundo de la prostitución y finalmente inicia una espectacular carrera como actriz porno. Ai Lijima tiene ahora 28 años, y narra en este libro el descubrimiento del sexo y el negocio que éste genera con una voz valiente y sincera. Hace ocho que dejó el cine porno, y ahora es una estrella de la televisión. Sin embargo, su leyenda sigue viva a través de internet y de las fantasías de los asiáticos. 

Les mémoires du plus grand acteur américain.

From one of the most iconic actors in the history of film, an astonishingly revelatory account of a creative life in fullTo the wider world, Al Pacino exploded onto the scene like a supernova. He landed his first leading role, in The Panic in Needle Park, in 1971, and by 1975, he had starred in four moviesThe Godfather and The Godfather Part II, Serpico, and Dog Day Afternoonthat were not just successes but landmarks in the history of film. Those performances became legendary and changed his life forever. Not since Marlon Brando and James Dean in the late 1950s had an actor landed in the culture with such force.But Pacino was in his mid thirties by then, and had already lived several lives. A fixture of avant-garde theater in New York, he had led a bohemian existence, working odd jobs to support his craft. He was raised by a fiercely loving but mentally unwell mother and her parents after his father left them when he was young, but in a real sense he was raised by the streets of the South Bronx, and by the troop of buccaneering young friends he ran with, whose spirits never left him. After a teacher recognized his acting promise and pushed him toward New Yorks fabled High School of Performing Arts, the die was cast. In good times and bad, in poverty and in wealth and in poverty again, through pain and joy, acting was his lifeline, its community his tribe.

¿Por qué es un escocés el único ganador no estadounidense del prestigioso premio al Logro de Toda una Vida que otorga el AFI (American Film Institute) [Instituto Americano de Cine]? Quizás porque la carrera de Sean Connery, aunque de alcance internacional y atractivo global, ha hecho de el una "autentica estrella de cine", sin pretensiones ni concesiones a las modas. Indiscutiblemente, la encarnacion de James Bond catapulto a Connery al estrellato y establecio las bases para la franquicia mas exitosa en la historia del cine. Juntos, Bond y Connery adquirieron proporciones epicas, pero fue Connery, no Bond, aquel cuya portentosa presencia siguio adelante para impregnar de triunfo otros papeles. Connery puede ser tan cool y carismatico como Steve McQueen, tan elegante como Cary Grant o tan generoso como Frank Sinatra. Dijo Audrey Hepburn: "Solo recuerdo dos grandes estrellas que no hayan sido cambiadas por el exito masivo: Lassie y Sean Connery". La serie Movie Icons: la gente habla del glamour de Hollywood, de estudios cinematograficos con mas estrellas que el firmamento, de actores que no eran actores sino iconos. Otros hablan de estas cosas, TASCHEN te lo muestra. Movie Icons es una serie de libros fotograficos que presentan a las personalidades mas famosas de la historia del cine. Estos libros de 192 paginas son biografias visuales de las estrellas.

Cada libro incluye tambien una cronologia, una filmografia y una biografia, y esta salpicado de citas de las peliculas y la vida de los actores.
