description: This comprehensive and in-depth study delves into the life and works of the most famous director who has ever lived, Steven Spielberg Spielberg is the medium’s defining artist - the embodiment of the Hollywood ideal: the commercial potential of film married to its creative possibilities.

You have to cut through the glow, the adoration, the simple joy that comes with their embrace, and get to the thrust…
