Description de l'ouvrage :
This work brings to readers of English a comprehensive and engaging treatment of one of America’s greatest, if largely forgotten, film directors. Dumont’s celebrated 1993 study, translated from the French by Jonathan Kaplansky, offers complete coverage of Borzage’s entire career—the more than 100 films he made and the effect of those films on movie audiences, especially between 1920 and 1940.
Lavishly illustrated with 120 photographs, the book also contains a complete filmography, a chronological bibliography, and an index.
À propos de l'auteur :
Hervé Dumont, now retired, was the director of the Swiss National Film Archive (Cinémathèque Suisse) in Lausanne, Switzerland, and the author of several works on film history. His History of Swiss Cinema (Lausanne 1987) earned the Jean Mitry Award, and Frank Borzage, Sarastro à Hollywood (Paris-Milan 1993) received the Prix Simone Genevois, awarded to the best European film book of the year.
Jonathan Kaplansky works as a literary translator of French in Montreal. His translations include novels by Hélène Dorion, Pauline Michel and Hélène Rioux, poetry by Serge Patrice Thibodeau, a journal by Annie Ernaux, and several biographies of historical and political figures. His articles have appeared in Palimpsestes and Circuit.
