The Conversations

This enlightening book is a rare, intimate glimpse into the worlds of two accomplished artists who share a great passion for film and storytelling. It's filled with wonderful stories about how some of the most important movies of the last thirty years were made and about the people who brought them to the screen. The book also traces the artistic growth of film editor Walter Murch, as well as his friends and contemporaries, from the creation of the independent, anti-Hollywood Zoetrope by a handful of brilliant, bearded young men to the recent triumph of Apocalypse Now Redux. A must-read for any lover or student of film.
