Book review excerpts
…”Wilson has been one of the key individuals behind the recognition of Eastwood as a director. Year after year, through articles and interviews, panels and festivals, and recently the documentary Clint Eastwood: A Life in Film, he has established a special connection with Eastwood. The great quality of this book is precisely that it is rooted in time – in the duration and genesis of Eastwood’s work as it progresses, step by step. One remains fascinated throughout these conversations by the underlying music of a relationship that slowly grows into a friendship. The filmmaker’s comments are captured as the films are being produced. This is not a retrospective survey. It is an exchange anchored in the nuts and bolts of creation.” (Positif, Fabien Gaffez, April 2008)
