The books that make up the University Press of Mississippi's Conversations with Filmmakers Series are essential for any cinephile. . . . If you read books like this as I do, with a pencil or highlighter in hand, you will be underlining like mad at not only bon mots, but revelations on the themes of acting, directing and writing.
Nichols and May: Interviews provides what feels like an unprecedented opportunity to make sense of Mike Nichols and Elaine May in their own words. Rather than an in-depth biography of two comedic greats, we get all these varying pieces and tidbits spanning the decades, moods, and movements of their careers from beginning to end.
I’d highly recommend the volume Nichols and May: Interviews.
