Last Words features extensive interviews with Christopher Nolan, Harmony Korine, Charlie Kaufmann, Nicolas Winding Refn, Wim Wenders, Michael Winterbottom, Christian Petzhold, and many others. Each interview is preceded by an overview of the director's work, and the volume's authoritative introductory essay explores the value of these directors and why they are rarely given an appropriate platform to discuss their craft.
Wood asks crisp, pointed, well-focused questions while simultaneously building a conversational relationship with the person being interviewed. The remarkable assemblage of filmmakers who comprise his cast of characters represent just about every point along the spectrum of serious screen art today, and every one of them has ideas, opinions, and experiences that deserve the attention of everyone who cares about the troubled present and uncertain future of worthwhile cinema. -- David Sterritt, chair, National Society of Film Critics
