The Off-Hollywood Film Guide: The Definitive Guide to Independent and Foreign Films on Video and DVD
"[T]he movies that I love most are the ones that offer something unexpected, something a few feet (or maybe a mile or two) off the beaten track," says film writer Wiener. His book, a compendium of over 650 foreign and independent films, praises "less-than-famous men and women filmmakers" from the 1960s through the present time. With a massive listing of films from the French C‚sar Award-winning A Nos Amours to the 44-minute-long Zero for Conduct, Wiener offers key facts and about a paragraph of background information for each entry. A section on subgenres and indexes of directors, actors and countries round out this authoritative reference.Copyright 2002 Cahners Business Information, Inc.
