This is a reader containing selected interviews with Mann and key critical essays on his work. This reader is the first to bring together a selection of Mann's own interviews where he reflects on his work with critical essays on his films and television programmes. The 15 interviews and 6 critical essays provide historical context, interpretation and evaluation of the auteur's work. They encompass his entire career as a feature filmmaker and television producer/director as he and others reflect on his themes, working methods, artistic development and career achievements. The book aims to open up Mann's body of work, making it available for comparison with the work of his contemporaries, and to provide fresh insights into his film and television work. A substantive introductory essay provides additional bases for understanding the interviews, essays and work of this major filmmaker. This is the first reader on Michael Mann. It includes three interviews originally published in French periodicals and translated for this volume. It is edited so that the book is accessible to undergraduate students.
