CASSAVETES ON CASSAVETES
Book ID/图书代码： 04560006B04638
English Summary/英文概要： John Cassavetes is the godfather of American independent cinema, saluted by virtually every US maverick who’s followed in his stead, from Martin Scorsese to Sean Penn. Since his death in 1989, Cassavetes has become increasingly renowned as a cinematic hero - a loner who fought against the iniquities of the Hollywood system, steering his own creative course in a career spanning thirty years. Having first established himself as an actor, he bravely struck out on his own as a director in 1959 with Shadows, and proceeded to build up a formidable body of work. His major films include Faces, Woman Under the Influence, The Killing of a Chinese Bookie, Opening Night and Gloria. These unforgettable works are driven and distinguished by Cassavetes’ collaboration with actors of the calibre of Gene Rowlands, Ben Gazzara and Peter Falk, Professor Ray Carney, a friend and admirer of Cassavetes, now presents a volume that offers us Cassavetes in his own words - frank, uncompromising, humane, and passionate about both life and art.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 约翰•卡萨维茨——一位希腊裔的美国影人，在20世纪50年代中期到80年代中期的美国影坛，作为演员的他因在《十二怒汉》《罗斯玛丽的婴儿》等著名影片中出演主要角色而声名广播。然而，作为一位风格独特的电影导演，卡萨维茨对于电影艺术的开创性贡献却在很长一段时间里不为大众所熟知，他在电影艺术创作上的卓越贡献与独特价值也长期没有得到应有的承认和评估，至今，这一切都还有待电影史学家与评论家去重新审视与理定。
尽管卡萨维茨的电影创作在美国本土庞大的好莱坞体制阴影之下难逃曲折多艰的命运遭际，然而真正有价值的艺术创作毕竟能够经得住时间的汰洗，法国著名哲学家吉尔•德勒兹在《时间影像》一书中将卡萨维茨的电影视为“身体电影”的典范之作，美国波士顿大学的电影学教授瑞•卡尼更是将其誉为“美国伟大的，令人惊讶地被忽略的和没有得到正确解读的电影作者”。 (Sandy)
