The making of Joel and Ethan Coen's The Big Lebowski - Tricia Cooke

In giving unprecedented assistance to the authors of this book the Coen brothers agreed for the first time to to reveal how they work. The book is structured around a few key scenes and follws the evolution of these scenes from their initial conception through their visualization as storyboards, to the actualization of these scenes in the shooting process, and then finally to the achieving of their completed form during post-production. The book illuminates the Coen brothers' artistic process, but in a way which is as entertaining as the films themselves.
