El universo cinematográfico del extraordinario actor, director, guionista y productor, el último gran mito de Hollywood.Clint Eastwood representa, a la vez, el Hollywood clásico y una presencia como director totalmente moderna, sin concesiones ni prejuicios. Ninguna figura de la industria opera con tanta libertad al margen de las restricciones de la presion comercial. Y, sin embargo (o tal vez por eso mismo), consigue crear un exito tras otro. Separar al actor del director es casi imposible. Estan intimamente relacionados, se polinizan mutuamente, pero en la segunda mitad de su carrera ha llegado a ser considerado uno de los artistas mas grandes del cine de todos los tiempos.

Ethan Coen (b. 1957) and Joel Coen (b. 1954), known as the Coen brothers, are among the most creative of contemporary American directors. From their very first feature, Blood Simple (1984), to their most recent film, True Grit (2010), they have written, directed and produced their films jointly. Their style is unique, somewhere between film noir (Fargo, 1996; No Country for Old Men, 2007) and mordant comedy (The Big Lebowski, 1998; A Serious Man, 2009). No matter what genre they tackle, their films deal with recurrent themes: American ethnicity, religion and Judaism, brotherhood and the family unit. They have received numerous awards, including a Palme d'Or for Barton Fink (1991) and four Oscars - including best Picture - for No Country for Old Men (2007).
