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."

Representative of a new generation of American writer-directors of the 1970s, Schrader's films highlight the tension between old and new ways of telling a story and between the maintenance of commercial formulas and openness to individual expression. George Kouvaros draws on a personal interview conducted with Schrader and the director's prior commentary to trace common motivations and impulses behind such well-known films as Light Sleeper, American Gigalo, Affliction, Auto Focus, Taxi Driver, and Patty Hearst. Kouvaros reads Schraders films in terms of a number of hard-to-define issues such as melancholia, trauma, and the complex linkages of violence and guilt that bind individuals to places and each other." -- BLURBISBN: 9780252075087Contents: The Teller and The Tale: The Films of Paul Schrader -- The New Hollywood -- From Grand Rapids to Hollywood -- The Lure of Negative Thought: Tax Driver -- The Psychopath's Second Coming -- From Screenwriter to Director: Blue Collar and Hardcore -- A Man and His Room: American Gigolo -- Changelings: Cat People -- The Lure of Biography: Mishima: A Life in Four Chapters -- The Catastrophe of Identity: Light of Day and Patty Hearst -- The Paradox of Acting -- Strangers to Ourselves: Auto Focus -- A Director for Hire -- Stores That Tell Us: The Comfort of Strangers -- Lost Souls: Light Sleeper -- False Events: Affliction -- Logic of Betrayal -- Nocturnal Wanderers -- Prequels and Obsessive Loves: Dominion and Forever Mine -- "Give All to Love" -- Interview With Paul Schrader.
