Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

""Lost Illusions" refers to the mid-1970s derailment of a blockbuster mentality in Hollywood in the wake of Jaws and Star Wars. The 'art' cinema of Penn, Kubrick, Peckinpah, and Altman gave way to the "event" cinema of Lucas and Spielberg...Cook's argument is not new, but he documents it well and presents it effectively in a discussion that ranges from cross-marketing techniques (book and record tie-ins, t-shirts, toys), the shift of studios from production to distribution, and tax shelter deals, to the rise of the agent and gross participation deals...Cook excels at industry analysis. Fine chapters by Douglass Gomery on exhibition, William Rothman on documentary, and Robin Blaetz on avant-garde films round out the book. All collections." -- "CHOICE" (May 2000)

Reseña del editor:

An investigation into the genesis and development of American film and the American film industry. The text looks at how the emergence of new technology, such as steadicam and Dolby sound, and a new generation of talent challenged the old ways, with films like Nashville and Five Easy Pieces.
