If you are even a casual reader of glossy magazines or gossip pages, you probably don't need Peter Biskind to tell you that Harvey Weinstein, the co-chairman of Miramax Films, is an outsize character: a big guy with big appetites and a temper the size of TriBeCa. But Mr. Biskind's absurdly entertaining new book, ''Down and Dirty Pictures,'' is here to tell you that you don't know the half of it. Mr. Biskind compares Mr. Weinstein to Nixon, Mussolini, an undercooked pancake, Darth Vadar, the fat guy who projectile vomits in Monty Python's ''Meaning of Life,'' even Lizzie Grubman in reverse-traction mode. And that's all before Chapter 1. Prix et récompensesDistinctions
Down and Dirty Pictures chronicles the rise of independent filmmakers and of the twin engines--the Sundance Film Festival and Miramax Films--that have powered them. Peter Biskind profiles the people who took the independent movement from obscurity to the Oscars, most notably Sundance founder Robert Redford and Harvey Weinstein, who with his brother, Bob, made Miramax an indie powerhouse. Candid, penetrating and controversial, Down and Dirty Pictures is a must-read for anyone interested in the film world. "In Down and Dirty Pictures, Biskind takes on the movie industry of the 1990s and again gets the story.... Peter Biskind captures his era as John Dunne did that of the Zanucks." --Frank Rich, The New York Times "Dishy, teeming, superbly reported...packed with lively inside anecdotes... a] juicy and fascinating expose." --Entertainment Weekly Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
