A companion volume to 'Being An Actor', Callow's classic text about the experience of acting in the theatre, 'Shooting The Actor' reveals the truth about film acting.
The book describes his film work, from 'Amadeus' to 'Four Weddings and a Funeral', from 'Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls' to 'Shakespeare in Love'. Its centrepiece is a hilarious and sometimes agonising account of the making of 'Manifesto', shot in the former Yugoslavia. When Callow first met the film's director Du-an Makavejev to discuss the movie, they both got on famously. Months later the two were barely speaking.
Insightful and always entertaining, 'Shooting The Actor' reveals more than any formal guide could about the process of filmmaking and the highly complex nature of being both actor and director.
