Kellyco@work | KUROSAWA (book design). Designed lavishly produced and profusely illustrated volume on film director, Akira Kurosawa, timed for the centennial of his birth, written by Peter Cowie with forward by Martin Scorsese. This is the first illustrated book to pay tribute to his unmistakable style—with more than two hundred images, many never before published. Features annotated script pages, sketches, and storyboards that reveal the meticulous craft behind the celebrated director’s genius. The author examines how Kurosawa took the samurai genre to its apogee in such films as Yojimbo and Seven Samurai; his literary influences in such films as Throne of Blood (Macbeth) and Ran (King Lear); and in his take on our relationship to the modern world in such films as High and Low and Dreams. Extensive photo editing with publisher. Supervised printing. Hardcover, 304 pages, with poster. Published by Rizzoli international.
