註釋Michael Ondaatje first met veteran editor Walter Murch during the filming of his novel The English Patient, and he became fascinated as he watched him at work, pulling together the strands of the film seamlessly. 'The conversations' grew out of discussions between the two men about the craft of filmmaking and deals with every aspect of film, from the first stage of script writing to the final stage of the sound mix. Walter Murch emerged during the 1960s at the centre of a renaissance of American filmmakers which included the directors Francis Ford Coppola, George Lucas and Fred Zinnemann. He worked on many iconic films including the three Godfather films, American Graffiti, Apocalypse Now, The Unbearable Lightness of Being and others. Articulate, intellectual, humorous and passionate about his craft and its devices, Murch explains how films are made, how they work, how they go wrong and how they can be saved.
