WELCOME TO BAYHEM!
Unloved and often misunderstood director, the tornado Michael Bay, who brings his recognizable aesthetic to action cinema, has been wreaking havoc in Hollywood against all odds for more than 25 years now. Based on biographical elements, the words of the director and numerous thematic and stylistic analyses, the book digs deep into his filmography, bad boys To Ambulance , in an attempt to solve the enigma represented by the Bay paradox, between sincerity and cynicism, fantasy and reality, cinema and advertising.
