Magnum Cinema: Photographs from 50 years of movie-making

Have a large collection of books about photography and movies, also very large about MM., as I am also a contemporary historian and art historian, in other fields.This book is wonderfull and I prefer this edition, more than the french one... Why? Don't know...

Don't buy this book for the quality of the printing - you'll be disappointed. There are too many flaws to list and after awhile it just doesn't matter anymore. What matters in the amazing collection Magnum has brought together - it's almost like they are bragging "see - look at how many great images our talent has produced." And it is amazing. I love how they organize the book. They present one iconic image of someone is a car - Audrey Hepburn and then they'll show 10 more images of 10 other movie stars in cars or similar situations and you think surely they don't have anymore like that and then...turn the page and it's a show stopper - Marilyn sleeping on a bed in some small little town. And the captions tell the stories brilliantly with just enough inside information to make you feel special. Buy the book for the incredible number on images of one great star after another taking us through all the stages of movie making. It's so much fun you forget about the flaws.

Beautiful book. Great quality and superb photos. As a photographer who loves great cinema.. this is perfect.
