"As far back as I can remember, I've always wanted to be a gangster."
Henry Hill grew up in the midst of New York City's criminal underworld, finally achieving the coveted status of "wiseguy." But in 1980, he made the decision to exchange his knowledge for a new identity. GoodFellas, Hill's own account of crude hierarchies, casual murders, and collaboration with the Feds (as a member of the Witness Protection Program) was adapted for the screen by Martin Scorsese and Nicholas Pileggi--and is now seen as a contemporary classic. The film drew rave reviews everywhere upon its theatrical release in 1990, and was nominated for Oscars in both the Best Director and Best Adapted Screenplay categories.
This book also offers an introduction by David Thompson, the noted film critic and co-editor of Scorsese on Scorsese.

爱森斯坦被认为是电影最伟大的革命者之一。不太为人所知的是，他也是一位多产的平面艺术家，作为表达自己想法的一种手段，他用的是强制手段。
按时间顺序排列，《纸上的艾森斯坦》分成六章，每一章都是关于每一个不同时期的图形作品，以及艾森斯坦自己的文章和日记的摘录相互交织。1930年，Eisenstein前往美国和墨西哥，在那里他创作了数百幅受古代和当代墨西哥艺术影响的画作。1932年被迫回到俄罗斯时，Eisenstein受到了共产主义政府的审查，在没有政治干预的情况下，努力拍摄更多的电影，再次为艺术自由画草图。尽管在他的一生中完成了相对较少的电影，但Eisenstein做了几千幅画。这本书是与俄罗斯国家艺术与文学档案馆开创性合作的产物，也是对不可思议的图形天才的致敬。
