| Description |
Acclaimed for his amazing screenplays for Martin Scorsese (Taxi Driver, Raging Bull, The Last Temptation of Christ), Schrader is just as interesting for his deeply personal films as a director. These (Mishima, American Gigolo, Affliction, etc.) are transgressive, pessimist, yet strangely spiritual, inhabited by defiantly anti-social characters, breaking every Hollywood mold of the well-made, well-mannered film. For his BU visit, Schrader has chosen to show Auto Focus (2002), about the tortured, sexually driven, demonic night life of Hogan’s Heroes TV star, Bob Crane (Greg Kinnear). |
