Spielberg: A Retrospective

Steven Spielberg has made the most commercially successful films in the history of cinema and also, in the same career, some of the most important — Schindler’s List, Saving Private Ryan, Munich, Lincoln — works that use his extraordinary command of the visual language of popular cinema in the service of subjects that most filmmakers would not dare to approach. From Jaws and Raiders of the Lost Ark through E.T. and Jurassic Park to the late historical films, the career is one of the most diverse and most accomplished in American cinema.

Richard Schickel’s retrospective presents the complete Spielberg career with exceptional visual material and the critical depth it deserves. Published by Thames & Hudson.
