Little White Lies

For almost a decade, the London magazine Little White Lies has been doing some wonderful stuff at the intersection of film, publishing and design. Its covers alone are a marvel; each one features a heavily stylized, head on portrait of an actor or actress, who is the ostensible subject of that issue. They’ve even generously showcased many of their back issues over at Issuu for free online perusing.

Now the publication is also putting out a new book, “What I Love About the Movies: An Illustrated Compendium.” It culls candid interviews with actors and filmmakers from the magazine’s past issues, including Francis Ford Coppola, the Coen Brothers, Spike Jonez, Steve McQueen, Ryan Gosling, Helen Mirren, Carey Mulligan and others. The illustrations in this volume are even more stylized. Here are a few samples.
