With a foreword by Spielberg himself From the irresistible fantasy of "E.T." to the gritty realism of "Saving Private Ryan," the films of Steven Spielberg have captured the imagination of the world. Renowned critic Richard Schickel now gives us the definitive illustrated monograph on this Oscar(R)-winning Hollywood icon, whose long and glittering career few directors have equaled. Spielberg is one of the most influential and inspirational minds in cinema, and Schickel provides perceptive analysis of nearly 40 years' worth of work, with illuminating film-by-film commentary on such masterpieces as the underwater thriller, "Jaws"; the high-speed adventures of Indiana Jones; the harrowing "Schindler's List"; sci-fi classic "Close Encounters of the Third Kind"; and the recent releases "Tintin" and "War Horse." The book culminates with the long-awaited "Lincoln" and features over 250 dynamic images, plus revealing behind-the-scenes photos from DreamWorks's archives.
