Pat In The City My Life Of Fashion Style And Breaking All

Translated by Audie E. Bock. A first rate book and a joy to read.... Its doubtful that a complete understanding of the directors artistry can be obtained without reading this book.... Also indispensable for budding directors are the addenda in which Kurosawa lays out his beliefs on the primacy of a good script on scriptwriting as an essential tool for directors on directing actors on camera placement and on the value of steeping oneself in literature from great novels to detective fiction. Variety For the lover of Kurosawas movies...this is nothing short of must reading...a fitting companion piece to his many dynamic and absorbing screen entertainments. Washington Post Book World
