Acting for Film. Methods and Techniques of Michael Caine

Michael Caine, a legend of world cinema, shares from his own experience what it really means to be an actor. In this book, you will find his honest and practical advice: how to work in front of the camera – where 'less means more' and where performance is based on subtle reactions rather than theatrical presentation – creating believable characters, dealing with nerves on set, and finding common ground with directors. Caine humorously and candidly shares stories from the sets of 'Zulu', 'Alfie', and other cult films, showing that behind the glamor of Hollywood life lies real work, discipline, and love for the craft. This is a conversation with a master that will be interesting not only to actors but also to anyone who wants to look behind the scenes of cinema.
