Seller's Description:
First edition first impression 2003. xx+244 pages. Illustrated. Cloth. Acid paper tanning as usual on all faber hardbacks. Very good indeed in dustjacket. The 1970s were the Golden Age for American film-making, with the emergence of such talents as Scorsese, Coppola, Spielberg, Lucas, De Palma, Altman, and Malick. Ryan Gilbey looks afresh at the remarkable movies of this era, and their gifted makers. Today these directors are sometimes lambasted as sellouts or burn-outs, but their best films of the seventies-from "American Graffiti" to "The Conversation", "Nashville" to "Carrie", "Badlands" to "Taxi Driver"-still feel as urgent and innovative as they did on first release, and still inspire young film-makers at a time when movies are once more depressingly formulaic. These directors cultivated a fascinating eclecticism, driven by creative hunger and insatiable imagination. But what in the American scene were they reacting against, and just as crucially, what were they celebrating (or pillaging from other sources)? Gilbey also considers directors who established a body of work in the seventies (Woody Allen), who blossomed as the decade progressed (David Lynch, Jonathan Demme), or who were prominent figures without being prolific (Stanley Kubrick, Terence Malick). He takes each film and assesses its place in history while also scrutinizing it as if it were coming to a cinema near you this Friday.
