	Park City 98 - A Veteran Returns to Sundance: An Interview with Paul Schrader
		Schrader speaks in a gruff voice, his eyes rarely meeting mine, but his answers are honest and his experience in the movies comes across in a language that is both intellectual and production savvy.
		Schrader: The most memorable shot is the shot toward the end [with the fire] where you find an image that sort of sums everything up and you just sit there for two minutes and watch it.
		Schrader: At first, I was fooling around with trying to do something like the end of "Sacrifice" by Tarkovsky, a complicated remote camera move with a burning building, but Tarkovsky had seven characters to deal with and two vehicles and he could choreograph a lot of interesting things while that building was burning.

	"Sexist jerks in beads and bell-bottoms" - Salon
		Schrader chips away at the pair's shagadelic veneer to reveal desperately lonely men whose screwing around is clearly symptomatic of something lacking in their lives.
		Schrader uses Crane's example to explore larger themes: the evolution of male sexuality through the free-love era, the sacrifice of self on the altar of personality, and the devastating effect of long-term addiction.
		Dafoe, who has previously appeared in Schrader's films "Affliction" and "Light Sleeper," as well as Martin Scorsese's "Last Temptation of Christ" (which Schrader co-wrote), is so raw and needy as Carpenter that it's almost unbearable to watch him.

	Screens: Bad to the Bone: Paul Schrader Discusses Affliction
		The affliction referred to in the title of Paul Schrader's new movie, which the writer/director adapted for the screen from a novel by author Russell Banks, has nothing to do with any pop disease of the week.
		Even if this is the aspect of Banks' critically hailed novel which first attracted Schrader to the story and led him to option it, the addition of hereditary aspects to this analysis of the cycle of violence represents something of a new tack for Schrader.
		So, too, Schrader's work is populated with characters whose behaviors are governed by their obsessions or their mistaken directions in life.

		So the director Paul Schrader's choice of asking the actor not to "play" it, but making an "effort was made to keep the narrative flat and matter-of-fact" was very suitable for the mystery of the film.
		Schrader's commentary is very interesting and enjoyable (as he always is; one of the best director to do commentaries), including the horrifying story of the true reason why the film was banned in Japan.
		Paul's comment seems to indicate that Lucasfilm re-recorded the narration for this DVD so that it included Ken Ogata's version in Japanese (a good thing as the film was not properly released in Japan first time round because of the Mishima estate's opposition and presumably the difficult political subject matter).

	The religion of Paul Schrader, screenwriter
		Schrader, who was widely known in Hollywood to be a strict Calvinist Protestant Christian (or at least from that background), regularly infused his scripts with strong moral and religious viewpoints influenced by and sometimes seemingly antithetical to this religious upbringing.
		Schrader graduated from Calvin College and went on to be a very successful movie director/writer, but at the same time he publically spoke out against the Calvinist community that he grew up in.
		Schrader and Scorsese saw this version of Christ's life as the culmination of their trilogy of works together; falst saints like Travis Bickle and mystic heroes like Jake La Motta, they were sure, pointed the treacherous path to Golgotha...

		Schrader also wrote and directed the tortured and violent love story "Forever Mine," which was only able to summon a debut on the STARZ cable channel.
		Schrader's next big project was in more familiar territory, helming--as director only--"Auto Focus" (2002), a dark docudrama chronicling the kinky secret sex life of 1960s TV sit-com star Bob Crane ("Hogan's Heroes"), which ultimately led to the actor's untimely death.
		Schrader battled the studio as he shot his version to completion, only to be fired and replaced--with the bulk of his material thrown out--by director Renny Harlin.

	Paul Schrader's 'Exorcist' prequel finally sees daylight (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Both "Exorcist" prequels begin in the 1940s, and show a pivotal scene in which Nazis try to force Father Merrin (Skarsgard as a much younger version of the Max von Sydow character in the original) to pick 10 people in his town to be executed.
		A sickly young man is possessed in Schrader's rendition; the hot Bond girl in Harlin's (and what comes out of her mouth, while not "pea-soup" vomit, would challenge Linda Blair's Regan in a World Champion Foul Mouth competition).
		Schrader said the upside for him was that his movie was not "tarted-up or misshapen." What we see on the screen is pretty much what he wanted us to get.

		Insomnia, in Schrader's world, is a condition suffered by those whose dreams remain elusive, just beyond their grasp.
		Writer-director Paul Schrader delivers his most satisfying film for me. He is even better known for his work when he solely screenwriters, such as for his unsurpassed "Taxi Driver," directed by his frequent collaborator, Marty Scorsese.
		Urban alienation is at the core of this film, which is true of all Schrader's work, and Willem Dafoe plays a nocturnal drug dealer who doesn't get much sleep (hence the title), probably because his dreams remain so elusive from his grasp, as a metaphor for the overall film.

	Paul Schrader \| Interviews \| SCI FI Weekly
		Director Paul Schrader didn't set out to helm a prequel to 1973's seminal horror film The Exorcist, but when original director John Frankenheimer fell ill, he was too happy to step in when asked.
		Schrader: Well, my experience was really quite ironic, in that I went down to Bethesda and saw it in the afternoon opening day with Bill Blatty, where he lives.
		Schrader: I did say that The Exorcist was the most metaphorically pure of all films, because you have God and Satan wrestling over the corporeal, the physical body of a 13-year-old girl.

	Amazon.ca: Dominion: Prequel to the Exorcist: DVD: Paul Schrader,Stellan Skarsgård,Ilario Bisi-Pedro,Julian ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Director Paul Schrader shot Dominion only to find studio bosses underwhelmed by its horror aspects, at which point Renny Harlin was hired to direct another take on the subject with the same lead actor, setting, and similar storyline.
		Apparently, they didn't think Schrader's film had a very strong horror aspect to it, and so it was that this original version of the prequel was buried while a new director came in and made a completely different movie using most but not all of the original actors.
		Schrader's film, which does not even deserve to be mentioned along with the original, seems to say that the worst aspect of the Devil is that he does not feel Catholic guilt.

	Morphizm.com -- "A Series of Enabling Devices": An Interview With Paul Schrader, Auto Focus
		Paul Schrader sits neatly in his armchair in the Four Seasons restaurant.
		Schrader's film is less concerned with the star's career (Schrader says of Hogan's Heroes, "God, it was an awful show!") or domestic life (Crane was married twice, first to high school sweetheart Anne, then to Hogan's costar Patricia Olson), than with his "secret" obsessions with pornography and sex.
		Paul Schrader: It covers about 14 years of Bob Crane's life, and we got the idea in pre-production of the accretion of clutter, that his life becomes more and more messy.

		The irony is that while an obvious case can be made that the best way to appreciate Paul Schrader's 1992 drama "Light Sleeper" is to have seen the previous two entries in his "nocturnal alienation" trilogy, "Taxi Driver" and "American Gigolo," those comparisons are the Achilles heel for the film as well.
		But what is more important is the way Schrader's archetypal hero has progressed over the course of these three films to the point where this last version is able to take stock of his life and realize he is actually looking forward to something in his life.
		Paul Schrader never fails to deliver in terms of gritty reality with some actual morals ("Taxi Driver", of course, is the best example), so maybe I expected another "Taxi".

		Writer/director Paul Schrader has made wallowing in the mire of the human condition a cinematic art form
		Almost all of Schrader's stark, morally ambiguous films contemplate the downward spiral of a man or men caught in a spiritual and emotional prison of their own construction.
		SCHRADER'S STRICT Calvinist upbringing forbade moviegoing because of its "decadence," so the Michigan native never even saw a film until he was an 18-year-old college student.

		Schrader talked to Sidewalk about casting star Nick Nolte, why Paul Newman needs to get to the gym and the high cost of shooting deer.
		Paul Schrader: I got the script to Nolte, and he wanted to do it, but at that time he was doing some expensive Hollywood films and his salary was quite high.
		He felt he should be paid at that level, and it took a number of years until he realized that the movie would not get made unless he accommodated the budget.

	Talk To Me Harry Winston: Paul Schrader's Canon
		In 2003, filmmaker and former film critic Paul Schrader (Taxi Driver, Autofocus) was going to write a film equivalency of Harold Bloom's The Western Canon.
		Schrader eventually came to terms with the fact that film was, in fact, the medium that undermined the canon.
		Of the films he has listed the only ones that stand out as meriting attention are Persona, Godfather, In the Mood For Love, High and Low, Taxi Driver, Blue Velvet, Singin in the Rain, and Talk to Her (though to be honest there is a lot on the list I have not seen).

	Paul Schrader's Exorcist to hit the big-screen - The Hollywood News
		We hearing that the Paul Schrader version of Exorcist: The Beginning is to get a cinema outing.
		Morgan Creek Productions dropped Schrader from the movie in September 2003, and then signed Renny Harlin to make a new version that was 'more blood and guts' than psychological horror.
		Either way, we're all looking to see what Schrader had to offer and we'll be the judge on whether it's better than Harlin's version or not.
