Ebook: International Dictionary of Films and Filmmakers. Volume 3. Actors and Actresses

Международная энциклопедия фильмов и их создателей. Том 3, посященный актерам и актрисам. В издании представлена информация о 615 личностях из разных стран. Каждая статья содержит краткую биографию, полную фильмографию, избранные статьи и критические отзывы об актере или актрисе.The book contains 615 entries, consisting of a brief biography, a complete filmography, a selected bibliography of works by and about the entrant, and a critical essay written by a specialist in the field.Since film is primarily a visual medium, the majority of entries are illustrated, either by a portrait or by a representative still from the entrant’s body of work.The selection of entrants is once again based on the recommendations of the advisory board. It was not thought necessary to propose strict criteria for selection: the book is intended to represent the wide range of interests within North American, British, and West European film scholarship and criticism. The eclecticism in both the list of entrants and the critical stances of the different writers emphasizes the multifarious notions of the cinema, and indeed of the various entrants’ role within it.Non-English language film titles are given in the original language or a transliteration of it, unless they are better known internationally by their English title. Alternate release titles in the original language(s) are found within parentheses, followed by release titles in English (American then British if there is a difference) and translations. The date of a film is understood to refer to its year of release unless stated otherwise.
