About the Author
Reviews
"Vincent LoBrutto's immersive, magisterial study of Ridley Scott's cinematic ways and means is a must-read for anyone interested in this visionary cinematic dream weaver. Like Stanley Kubrick, Scott is in some ways a genre director, though one who manages to expand and transcend the genres he's adopted along the way. He does this through rigorous and disciplined formal innovation, producing among the most rivetingly beautiful visions in the history of commercial cinema. Readers of LoBrutto's remarkable Kubrick biography won't be surprised at the precision of his research and his instinct for the striking detail and telling anecdote. Highly recommended."—Michael Benson, author of Space Odyssey: Stanley Kubrick, Arthur C. Clarke, and the Making of a Masterpiece
