The Playboy Interviews: The DirectorsStephen Randall Movies are the common language of the world, speaking to us all on an emotional and intellectual level that almost no other art form can. While there have been many great films, only a few directors have raised the motion picture to its highest level. In THE DIRECTORS fourteen of the most widely respected and creative filmmakers discuss what drives them and inspires them in their craft, with revealing, thought-provoking and highly personal discussions that range from Roman Polanski's thoughts on the murder of his wife in the nightmarish Manson Family massacre to Oliver Stone's frank discussions about the challenges he faced in creating his memorable films and many others. THE DIRECTORS provides a window into the creative minds of some of cinema's true artists |
