This revised and updated edition of the Critical Guide encompasses the careers of over 500 directors that have worked within the North American film industry, including Canada, since the early 1990s. This edition features new or revised material on 150 directors, and includes coverage of mainstream luminaries such as Martin Scorsese, Steven Spielberg, Robert Altman, and Kathryn Bigelow, independent mavericks like Hal Hartley and Jim Jarmusch, and innovative emerging talents including Todd Field (In the Bedroom), David Gordon Green (George Washington) and Christopher McQuarrie (The Way of the Gun). This is a unique reference to the changing dynamics of the world's most watched movies.
