Ridley Scott. Genius of Visual Worlds

A large gift book for true cinema lovers! Ridley Scott is one of the greatest directors of our time! Each of his films is a great success. He studied under Francis Bacon and paints with oils to relax. He prefers... the company of NASA scientists or medieval historians over the cream of Hollywood society. He creates captivating and spectacular blockbusters that ponder the existence of God and the future directions of humanity. Scott always fights for his vision of the world on screen. His films - 'Alien', 'Blade Runner', 'Gladiator', 'Hannibal', 'The Martian', and many others - establish the boundaries of the fantastical and the real: crossing new continents and planets, overcoming the limits between the lawful and the criminal, the living and the artificial, the religious and the scientific, the internal and the external. The director believes that it just takes a little courage or even making the audience gasp - and this will attract the viewers' attention. And throughout his long career, he has hardly ever been wrong.
This book is a unique chronicle of the director's creative life, telling his journey from the first advertising shoots to 'The Martian'. In addition to the history of the films' creation, it contains a lot of archival material from the shoots, the director's comments, and amusing stories from the actors and crew. And all of this in a large format colorful art book - many vivid illustrations on high-quality paper.
