Please recommend me some good books on film, or that have film as a central focus. Preferably books by filmmakers, like Sculpting in Time and Renoir my Father.
Thank you
Werner Herzog - A Guide For The Perplexed
More like an autobiography.
Walter Murch - In the Blink of an Eye
Really makes you appreciate the importance of editing.
Huillet/Straub's Objectivistes en Cinema
Bresson's Notes on the cinematographer
Brakhage's Metaphors on vision

The Magic Lantern - Ingmar Bergman's Autobiography was pretty cool
The Story of Film: An Odyssey by Mark cousins is fantastic. It's obviously cashing in on the television documentary he made by the same name..... but it's still wonderful.
Film Technique and Film Acting - The Cinema Writings of V.I. Pudovkin
These should be sufficient, thank you everyone

This pic always triggers me. Tarkovsky did not "employ Deleuzian concepts"; Deleuze has drawn from Tarkovsky's theory.
