Michael Caine - Acting in Film: An Actor's Take on Movie Making (The Applause Acting Series) Revised Expanded Edition Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)If you like movies, this book is a great read. If you're interested inacting in movies, it's an essential read. If you're interested inmoviemaking (behind the camera), it's still an essential read: buy extracopies to pass around on the set, especially if you're a strugglingfilmmaker and you have a cast of friends who've never acted before.
As ateacher, Caine is as straightforward as he is as an actor. You watch hisperformances and you're seeing an actor who understands that less is more.You read this book and you're listening to an instructor who understandsthe same thing. Every anecdote he tells about films he's been in and starshe's worked with is not just namedropping, it's ALWAYS relevant to whateverhelpful point he's making about the craft of film acting. And to him it isvery much a craft, not an art. The art takes care of itself; it happensmysteriously, but it can only happen if you nail the craft first. Noarty-flighty book about acting theory or the Method, this is aworking-class, meat-and-potatoes manual that anyone can relate to, muchlike its author.
