Meet the Filmmakers: Paul Schrader

In Paul Schrader: Man in a Room, the latest entry in our Meet the Filmmakers series, director Alex Ross Perry (Her Smell) visits the ever-iconoclastic auteur during the making of his 2017 masterpiece First Reformed. On set and at home, Schrader reflects on the highs and lows of his legendary career, the challenges and rewards of slow cinema, and his often controversial social-media presence.

Along with this insightful portrait, we’re proud to present a selection of highlights from Schrader’s extensive body of work, including Hardcore, a seedy excursion into America’s sexual underworld, and the unconventional biopic Mishima: A Life in Four Chapters.
