Absolutely Marvelous!
As a young filmmaker, I currently own quite a few books on the subject but none more inspiring than this. I loved his previous book 'Shot by Shot' but this is the best one.
It has taught me so much, allowing me to develop my own directing style and has prevented me from making those fateful mistakes relating to the 'line of action' and when shooting more that two people in a dialogue scene.
If you want to join the field or even if you are already part of it, I suggest you buy this book because it is brilliant.

Thank you so much!
