William Friedkin: Films of Aberration, Obsession and Reality

Best known for The French Connection and The Exorcist, William Friedkin is responsible for many other films and television documentaries. The author mixes interviews with Friedkin and his colleagues with his own observations to critically (often very critically) judge the artistic success of Friedkin's many films. This new edition of the study of his films is updated to the release of the new version of The Exorcist (thereby leaving out the recent The Hunted). Annotation ©2003 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
