Spanning from obscurity to notoriety, the films of director, screenwriter, actor and comic Elaine May have recently experienced a longoverdue renaissance. Although she made only four films A New Leaf (1971), The Heartbreak Kid (1972), Mikey and Nicky (1976) and Ishtar (1987) and never reached the level of acclaim of her frequent collaborator Mike Nichols, May? work is as enigmatic, sophisticated and unceasingly fascinating as her own complicated, reluctant star persona. This collection focuses both on the films she has directed, and also emphasises her work with other high profile collaborators such as John Cassavetes, Warren Beatty and Otto Preminger.
