Slight crease to corner front cover. Introduction by Madonna. This book captures the heat of it all, documenting in words and brilliant photographs the challenge faced by filmmaker Alan Parker, the award-winning film director, in turning one of the world's most successful musicals - based on the of a historical icon - into a compelling, contemporary Hollywood film and the most talked-about, highly anticipated motion picture of the year. Parker's relationships with cast and crew, the drama of working with larger-than-life international stars such as Madonna, Antonio Banderas and Jonathan Pryce, and the challenge of creating an authentic replica of the Argenina of half a century ago - from consutming to scenery to political climate - are recountered in vivid detail. Most revealing, Parker conveys the experience of confronting the passionate cry of Argentineans who initially distrusted his ability to faithfully re-create the story of ther most beloved and controversial heroine, Eva Peron.
