Taschen's Cinema Now - book and DVD set
Lacking a good knowledge of contemporary film? Cinema Now from Taschen could fill the gaps.
Cinema Now examines the work and key themes of 60 filmmakers working around the world today, from Hollywood to the new wave of Asian directors and new movie men (and women) in Europe and Latin America, including the likes of Pedro Almodóvar, Wong Kar-Wai, Alejandro González Iñárritu and Carlos Reygadas, Guy Maddin, Matthew Barney, and Tsai Ming-Liang.
As well as facts and photos, the book also features an exclusive DVD containing exclusive short films, extracts, trailers, and much more, so you can see for yourself the work in question. Combined, the book and DVD sell for £24.99 (and probably less if you shop around.
