Despite a career spanning over forty years, filmmaker Alan Rudolph has flown largely under the radar of independent film scholars and enthusiasts, often remembered as Robert Altman's prot�g�. Through a reading of his 1985 film Trouble in Mind, Caryl Flinn demonstrates that Rudolph is long overdue for critical re-evaluation. Exploring Trouble in Mind's influence on indie filmmaking, Rudolph's dream-like style, and the external political influences of the Reagan era, Flinn effectively conveys the originality of Rudolph's work through this multifaceted film. Utilizing archival materials and interviews with Rudolph himself and his collaborators, Flinn argues for this career-defining film's relevance to American independent cinema and the decade of the 1980s. Amply illustrated with frame enlargements and set photographs, this book uncovers new production stories and reception contexts of a film that Flinn argues deserves a place in the limelight.

This book was even better than I anticipated -- beautifully researched study of one specific film by indie filmmaker Alan Rudolph who is considerably better known for the film which preceded this one -- CHOOSE ME. I find this film to be superior to the former film, but it is rarely given as much consideration. I found a book by Richard Ness particularly disappointing in that regard. This one is a marvelous study of neo-noir in film and TROUBLE IN MIND in particular. Rudolph is admittedly a quirky director/screenwriter, but making the effort to understand his vision, his wit, his approach, and his politics (yes, for all his romanticism, he has a political agenda; it's subtle, but it's there) is, to my mind, worth the effort. This film features one of Rudolph's most fascinating antiheroes, whose surface conceals a vulnerability not often seen in this genre. Acting is uniformly superb. If indie film interests you at all, this is a book that just might intrigue you.
