Clint Eastwood – A retrospective
Release date: March 31, 2025
Clint Eastwood is a Hollywood – and American – icon: beloved by critics and audiences alike, he has carved out a uniquely successful career that has spanned more than half a century and sixty movies. Acclaimed as both actor and director, as well as for his musical compositions, he has won multiple Oscars for his achievements in front of and behind the camera and has established himself as a true cinematic great.
This stunning volume, written by renowned film critic and acclaimed documentary filmmaker Richard Schickel, presents a chronological look at his astonishing body of work, from the early spaghetti westerns to his iconic role as Dirty Harry Callahan in Dirty Harry (1971), to the soulful Bird (1988) and the revolutionary western Unforgiven (1992) through to more recent films such as the Academy Award-winning Mystic River (2003), Million Dollar Baby (2004) and American Sniper (2014). This career-spanning retrospective ends with his last film as director, the forthcoming Juror #2.
Over 250 spectacular images, including dynamic stills from memorable screen performances and revealing behind-the-scenes photographs, are accompanied by Schickel’s incisive and illuminating commentary.
