The Wallflower Critical Guide to Contemporary North American Directors

The first of three volumes, the others to look at British and European directors and at world cinema directors. Entries profile the lives and work of movie directors in (but not necessarily from) North America who have had feature films released for theatrical exhibition in the last decade or so. Some makers of animated or documentary films are also included, but more extensive coverage of them must wait for subsequent editions, which are projected for about every two years. Film titles are indexed. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
