If you've seen Bad Lieutenant or The Piano, you've seen all there is to see of Harvey Keitel--but what do you really know about him? Although Marshall Fine's biography lacks the intimate insights that direct involvement with his subject would entail, he does an excellent job of collating what Keitel has said about his work--and what others have said about Keitel's performances--over the years, from his electrifying "debut" in Martin Scorsese's Mean Streets through the fallow '80s to the gradual comeback that culminated with his performance as Mr. White in Reservoir Dogs.
Most significantly to Fine's credit, he takes seriously Keitel's desire to have his career viewed as a development of craft and a journey of self-discovery, and thus analyzes Keitel's performances (and the circumstances behind them) with sensitivity. Although this emphasis is based in part on editorial necessity--there's simply more documentation of Keitel's professional life than his personal one--Fine does rather well with the available resources. You won't necessarily know Keitel after reading The Art of Darkness, but you will perhaps come closer to understanding him. --Ron Hogan -- Dieser Text bezieht sich auf eine vergriffene oder nicht verfügbare Ausgabe dieses Titels.
Kurzbeschreibung
Harvey Keitel has made his menacing presence felt in some of the greatest cult movies ever, from Scorsese's "Taxi Driver" and "Mean Streets" to Tarantino's "Reservoir Dogs" and "Pulp Fiction". The godfather of independent film makers, Keitel has a record for supporting star directors of the future, from Scorsese (his first acting job was in Scorsese's film school thesis film), through Ridley Scott, Abel Ferrara, Jane Campion and Quentin Tarantino. Keitel's background prepared him for the tough and brooding roles he so often plays. Born in Brooklyn to poor Polish immigrants, he dropped out of school and joined the Marines at 17. Drawing on interviews with colleagues and friends, this biography tells the story of the rollercoaster career and turbulent personal life of this powerful performer.

Rehashes old material,
Von Ein Kunde
Rezension bezieht sich auf: Harvey Keitel: The Art of Darkness (Gebundene Ausgabe)
I was really disappointed with this book. There wasn't one piece of information in it that I didn't already know; and many pieces of information that I know that weren't in the book. In addition, regardless of what actors say (and Mr. Keitel has often said this) about the characters they play not reflecting their personal lives, it's not true. A person's personal life is always reflected on the screen; it's what makes the actor able to project the character they are playing. Therefore, I wanted to know more about Mr. Keitel's personal life so I could get a better picture of his professional life. I wanted to know more about his past and current relationships with Martin Scorsese and Robert De Niro. Perhaps I should write my own book.

A Mere Peek at a Genius,
Von Betsy Pascucci "holdenva" (Capon Bridge, WV United States) - Alle meine Rezensionen ansehen (REAL NAME)
Rezension bezieht sich auf: Harvey Keitel: The Art of Darkness (Gebundene Ausgabe)
When I saw the word 'unauthorized' on the front of this book, I bought it thinking I would find out some real facts about this wonderful actor. Instead, I was spoon fed glossy peeks into what makes Keitel tick, most of which I could have looked up myself. I believe this author was too scared to write the truth. Who can blame him? This book is nothing more than a big disappointment. I never even found out why Copolla really kicked Keitel out of the Phillipines. That alone would have been worth the price of the book.

Very Enlightening!!!,
Von Ein Kunde
Rezension bezieht sich auf: Harvey Keitel: The Art of Darkness (Gebundene Ausgabe)
I was always under the impression that Mr. Keitel was a somewhat "dark" man with a lot of demons(who doesn't have some of those demons to deal with?)He just was lucky enough to find himself an outlet to deal with those facets of his life. It is said that Mr. Keitel will only talk about what he wants to talk about, about his personal life etc., but if you look closely he is telling you a lot about himself through the characters that he protrays. (I thought this about Mr. Keitel before I read the book). Mr. Keitel has a God given talent and he has used it well. To entertain us and to understand himself. And maybe even to help us deal with our own demons. I know he helped me with some of mine. Thank you Mr. Keitel.
