The resulting portrait reveals a quixotic man whose films continue to delight and challenge audiences, both in the United States and beyond.Notes: Includes index and bibliographyISBN: 0571220894

In this major examination of modern American cinema, one of our leading film critics ponders this question - and produces a wide-screen picture of the answer. Here in detail are the careers and creative milestones of the new "Whiz Kids" of hollywood - such glittering names as Scorsese, De Palma, Lucas, Spielberg, Altman, Mazursky, and Coppola. Here are the new masters of comedy - Neil Simon, Mel Brooks, Woody Allen. Here are the blockbusters that made fiscal history- Jaws, The Exorcist, the Godfather, Star Wars, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Nashville, Superman, and all the others. Here, too, are the masterpieces that passed unnoticed, and the disasters that Hollywood would like to forget. Here are the new writers turning out novelizations of screenplays and screenplays of novels, and the current and rising stars who collectively represent America's vision of glamour and aristocracy. Above all, here is a bottom-line report on the new economics that have turned Hollywood from an old-fashioned industry centered on making movies into a "leisure-time" business obsessed with making money for coporate owners. Add to this a complete rundown of the top critics' choice for the best films of the decade, and a comprehensive "Who's Who" in current American filmmaking, and you have American Film Now- the definitve guide to the film industry as it is today and as it will be tomorrow."

Through casual and direct discussions Broken Screen offers a detailed navigation through the ideas behind the important yet under-documented visual language of nonlinear narratives, split screens, and fragmentary visual planes that define the most progressive moving images today.ISBN: 1933045264

It reworks Pasolini's landmark concept of 'the cinema of poetry' to look at the transformation of film form in its encounter with society, the sacred, the subjective and the presence of the camera. In the 1970s, the influential forms of a cinema of poetry are analysed in key features by Altman, Herzog, Malick, Scorsese, Weir, Von Trotta and Tarkovsky while in the 1980s and 1990s the emergence of new filmmakers has meant a diffusion of different cinemas of poetry using new techniques and new poetries. Of key importance here is the work of Kieslowski, Lynch, Egoyan, Campion, Greenaway, Zhang Yimou, Tran Anh Hung and Wong Kar-Wai, as well as the reinvention of science fiction and film noir in American genre."

He follows the growth of Sundance from a regional film festival to the premier showcase of independent film that it became, showing how it succeeded almost despite Robert Redford, whose visionary plans were often thwarted by his quixotic personality. He charts the meteoric rise of the controversial Harvey Weinstein, often described as the last mogul who, with his brother Bob, left a trail of carnage in his wake, yet created an Oscar factory that is the envy of the studios.

Exhaustively researched, Patrick McGilligan's richly wrought biography intimately details Altman's early life, his hedonistic obsessions, and offers blow-by-blow accounts of the making of his revolutionary films, including M*A*S*H, McCabe and Mrs. Miller, Nashville, and many others. Visionary, belligerent drinker, insecure may-be-genius, auteur: all come together in McGilligan's larger-than-life portrait of one of the great filmmaker of our time - Robert Altman.
