Marking the 10th anniversary of the Academy Award®-winning film, first publication of this collection of stunning photographs—many never before shown.Schindler's List, a Steven Spielberg film, is a cinematic masterpiece that has become one of the most honored films of all time. Now, for the first time, this unique book captures the filmmaking experience, before and behind the cameras, during the memorable 72-day shoot in Krakow, Poland, in 1993, when an incredible cast and crew re-created the true story of the enigmatic Oskar Schindler, a Nazi party member and war profiteer, who saved the lives of more than 1,100 Jews during the Holocaust.

Just as Spielberg filmed the movie entirely in black-and-white, so did stills photographer David James shoot his pictures the same way. Now, Spielberg and James have selected over fifty of these stunning images for this commemorative volume, printed in a high-quality, four-color process for enhanced visual presentation. 50 b/w images.

From Publishers Weekly Marking the ten-year anniversary of the release of Schindler?s List, this small-format book of photographs is a powerful testament to the film?s conflicting emotions of hate, cruelty, fear, love, loyalty and bravery. The b&w images essentially tell the story of Schindler?s List and they?re devastatingly potent. They depict Jews entering concentration camps laden with valises; a guard looking out over the camp, casually smoking a cigarette while his rifle rests against his shoulder; tearful families desperately clinging to one another. The book often feels like a work of strikingly resonant photojournalism. As well it should?in the production notes, Spielberg comments, "I tried to be as close to a journalist in recording this re-creation, more than being a filmmaker trying to heighten the suspense or action or the pathos." Copyright Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. "The movie is brilliantly acted, written, directed and seen. Individual scenes are masterpieces of art direction, cinematography, special effects, crowd control. [Spielberg's] restraint and passion are present in every shot."
