Description
Why is Al Pacino so compelling, what is the secret of Amitabh Bachchans enduring excellence, how a grand personality like Clint Eastwood is successful due to elegant minimalism. What makes Bernardo Bertolucci a chronicler of sex and Paul Thomas Anderson an unconsummated genius. How Yash Chopra handled emotions with great intelligence. How Quintin Tarantino finally came around to his maturity. All this and more is there in this journey of a cinema lover to decipher the appeal of his preferred art form and its top practitioners.Stars and Directors endure due to their appeal to the audience. This appeal is often unique to that actor or the auteur. Being alive to the components of that appeal not only enhances the experience of the cinema but is also a requirement of consuming the art of cinema in a literate fashion.The book tries to navigate this appeal from a non technical perspective and deals with the personal journey of the author during which he was lucky to create a personal pantheon of the modern masters of Cinema.
