Published on the occasion of Cinematheque's recent mini-retrospective of Hoffman's work, the book features copious film stills, a filmography, an original essay by Robert Carl Craig, as interview between the filmmaker and Barbara Sternberg and the complete script to Hoffman's WHAT THESE ASHES WANTED. http://www.sfcinematheque.org/publications.shtml 5.
