Freeze Frames

Freeze Frame is a book of
conversations with film people—actors, directors, writers, producers. These
interviews, conducted between 2007 and 2011 by author and film critic Anupama
Chopra, capture a place and a time. They offer an insight into the magic and
madness of making movies; the heartache and malice of the business; the
craft, creativity and inevitable compromises of cinema. Anupama Chopra is an
award-winning author and film critic. She has hosted popular review shows on
television and written extensively about cinema. Her articles have been
published in India Today, The New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Variety,
