A gem of A Book! A Store House of Wisdom! Perfect for all Film Lovers!
(Amazon.in com review by Ranadeep Bhattacharyya: FIVE STARS!)
It was pleasure reading your book. I am a complete bibliophile and have read many books on filming and director's insights and interviews but none can match up to the profound knowledge and wisdom that you have been able to pass on through your book.
You might be too humble to admit or take credit for the insights of the directors that is the content of the book, but as Marshall Mcluhan has said - 'the medium is the message' and hence your perspective through the interviews have become the real soul of the book.
The unique part of the book are the interviews of the Cinematographers, at the end of every director's interview. Seldom do we get to hear on the working equation between the DOP and the Director in such detail. Ranjan Patil and Vishal Bharadwaj's working chemistry was a real delight to read.
Also by adding the interview of art director and production designer Nitin Desai in the end, you have just given an edge to the entire book.
I must say, this is the surprise element in this book and filled with rare insights that is absolutely crucial for any aspiring feature filmmaker like me. I would end by congratulating you for this noble deed of yours of contributing to the field of knowledge through this gem of a book.
The research and production of it surely would have been painstaking but it is a treasure to any film lover and a must read for all film professionals. In fact as a greedy fan I would really hope that in the future you come up with more books on similar lines on producers, cinematographers and actors.
With your unparalleled framework of questions, it would be yet another gem.
Wish you all the very best Sir.
Thank you.
Warm Regards.
God bless.
