About this ebook
Written by bestselling and award-winning author Paul Auster, the screenplay for The Lulu on the Bridge is the perfect companion and insider guide to the film starring Harvey Keitel, Mira Sorvino, and Vanessa Redgrave.
From The New York Trilogy to The Book of Illusions and 4 3 2 1, Paul Auster, one of America's most spectacularly inventive novelists, established himself as an award-winning filmmaker as well, with Smoke, Blue in the Face, and The Inner Life of Martin Frost. Lulu on the Bridge unites his talents as a novelist and filmmaker with a work that is moving exploration of fate and love.
Stunning and surreal, Lulu on the Bridge is a romantic mystery with a lot on its mind. It is the story of Izzy and Celia, two lonely, wounded, and mismatched strangers, transformed into soulmates by the uncanny powers of a phosphorescent stone. Destiny, as well as some bizarre and near-tragic circumstances, conspire to keep the lovers apart. But the audience and reader are privy to a grand and surprising finale that explains all.
Thought-provoking, intriguing, and utterly romantic, Lulu on the Bridge offers a lyrical meditation on what distinguishes chance from fate, reality from illusion, and life from death. Following on the success of the screenplay companion to Smoke and Blue in the Face, this book contains the shooting script; an interview with Paul Auster by Rebecca Prime; interviews with the producer, costume designer, editor, director of photography, and production designer; and stills from the film.
