; "Welles. Hitchcock. Kubrick. These names appear on nearly every list of the all-time
greatest filmmakers. But what makes these directors so great? Despite their very different
themes and sensibilities, is there a common genius that unites them and elevates their
work into the realm of the sublime? The Extraordinary Image takes readers on a fascinating
journey through the lives and films of these three directors, identifying the qualities
that made them cinematic visionaries. Reflecting on a lifetime of teaching and writing
on these filmmakers, acclaimed film scholar Robert P. Kolker offers a deeply personal
set of insights on three artists who have changed the way he understands movies. Spotlighting
the many astonishing images and stories in films by Welles, Hitchcock, Kubrick, he
also considers how they induce a state of amazement that transports and transforms
the viewer. Kolker's accessible prose invites readers to share in his own continued
fascination and delight at these directors' visual inventiveness, even as he lends
his expertise to help us appreciate the key distinctions between the unique cinematic
universes they each created. More than just a celebration of three cinematic geniuses,
The Extraordinary Image is an exploration of how movies work, what they mean, and
why they bring us so much pleasure." -- Publisher's description
