William Friedkin, maverick of American cinema, offers a candid look at Hollywood when traditional storytelling gave way to the rebellious and alternative–when filmmakers like him captured the paranoia and fear of a nation undergoing a cultural nervous breakdown.
Friedkin sits down with Kibrick for an interview on his long-awaited memoir, detailing his Academy Award–winning legendary films such as The French Connection, The Exorcist, and To Live and Die in LA. The Friedkin Connection takes readers from the streets of Chicago to the suites of Hollywood and from the sixties to today, with autobiographical storytelling as fast-paced and intense as any of the auteur’s films.
