Shumway examines the defining characteristic of Sayle's cinema: its realism. Positing the filmmaker as a critical realist, Shumway explores Sayle's attention to narrative in critically acclaimed and popular films such as Matewan, Eight Men Out, Passion Fish and Lone Star. The study also details the conditions under which Sayle's films have been produced, distributed, and exhibited, affecting the way in which these films have been understood and appreciated. In the process, Shumway presents Sayles as a teacher who tells historically accurate stories that invite audiences to consider the human world they all inhabit." -- BOOK BLURBNotes: Includes bibliographical references, filmography and indexISBN: 9780252078569Contents: -- acknowledgments -- John Sayles: critical realist -- John Sayles: independent -- John Sayles: realist -- Beginnings: return of the Secaucus seven -- Establishing a career -- Lianna and Baby it's you -- The brother from another planet and Springsteen videos -- Matewan -- Eight Men out -- Place and melodrama: city of hope and passion fish -- Stories -- Lone star -- Men with guns -- Limbo -- Millennial ZSayles -- Casa de los babys -- Silver city -- Honeydripper -- interviews with John Sayles -- filmography -- bibliography -- index --
