Down and Dirty Pictures : Miramax, Sundance and the rise of the independent film order quantity

Paperback
Author: Peter Biskind
Published by: Bloomsbury
In Stock: 1
In the late 1980s a generation of filmmakers began to flower outside the Hollywood studio system and in the following decade, the independent film movement bloomed. Dozens of lesser-known filmmakers such as Steven Soderbergh and Quentin Tarantino began walking away with coveted prizes at Cannes and eventually the Academy Awards. Many of these directors were discovered at Robert Redford's Sundance Film Festival and then scooped up by Harvey and Bob Weinstein, whose company Miramax laid waste to the competition. In Down and Dirty Pictures, Peter Biskind tells the incredible story of these filmmakers, the growth of Sundance into the premier showcase of independent film, and the meteoric rise of the controversial Weinstein brothers who left a trail of carnage in their wake yet created an Oscar factory that is the envy of the studios.

Paperback
Author: Peter Biskind
Published by: Bloomsbury Publishing Plc
In Stock: 1
Coppola, Bogdanovich, Scorsese, Lucas, Hooper, Altman, Spielberg - they were the generation who re-wrote the Hollywood script for the 1970s through the remarkable films they made: Bonnie and Clyde, Easy Rider, The Godfather, The Last Picture Show, Taxi Driver ...films which stand as modern classics.

In Easy Riders, Raging Bulls Peter Biskind recreates the director's decade. One of the most exhilarating periods in film history, it began with Easy Rider in the late 1960s and ended with Raging Bull and Beverly Hills shrouded under a blanket of coke in 1980. Based on hundreds of interviews with the directors themselves, as well as producers, stars, studio executives, writers, spouses, ex-spouses, and girlfriends, this is the full story of the crazy world the directors ruled. Never before have so many celebrities talked so frankly about one another and the drugs, sex, and money that made so many of them crash and ... more

Paperback
Author: Peter Biskind
Published by: Bloomsbury Publishing Plc

Classic book on thirty years of writing on film and culture, by the bestselling author of Easy Riders, Raging Bulls and Down and Dirty Pictures
Here is Hollywood over the last three decades: the superfreaks, lowlifes, charlatans and the occasional geniuses who have left their bite marks on American culture, as refracted through the trajectory of Peter Biskind's career. Biskind began as a radical journalist and a film critic. Now he legitimately describes himself - as he does in the autobiographical introduction to this book - as a 'recovering celebrity journalist'.

At the heart of the book are the likes of Martin Scorsese, Robert Redford, Terrence Malik, Sue Mengers, and uber-producer Don Simpson, all of whom Biskind portrays in great Dickensian detail, charting how they have had a simultaneously strangulating and liberating effect on the industry.

Paperback
Author: James Monaco
Published by: Oxford University Press

Richard Gilman referred to How to Read a Film as simply "the best single work of its kind." And Janet Maslin in The New York Times Book Review marveled at James Monaco's ability to collect "an enormous amount of useful information and assemble it in an exhilaratingly simple and systematic way." Indeed, since its original publication in 1977, this hugely popular book has become the definitive source on film and media. Now, James Monaco offers a special anniversary edition of his classic work, featuring a new preface and several new sections, including an "Essential Library: One Hundred Books About Film and Media You Should Read" and "One Hundred Films You Should See." As in previous editions, Monaco once again looks at film from many vantage points, as both art and craft, sensibility and science, tradition and technology. After examining film's close relation to other narrative media such as the novel, painting, photography, television, ... more

Movie Icons: Grace Kelly order quantity

Paperback
Author: Glenn Hopp
Published by: Taschen
In Stock: 1
The top female box-office star of 1954, Grace Kelly's status as icon takes in an 11-film, three-year, screen career and a glamorous later life as Princess of Monaco. More than any other star, she was in three memorable films the quintessential Hitchcock blonde, delineating traits of cool beauty, depths of hidden passion, intelligence, playfulness, and style - in short, the qualities that led biographer James Spada to call her "the pious man's Marilyn." Yet Grace Kelly also showed her versatility and won her acting honors for playing against type in the title role in the grimly realistic movie "The Country Girl". Grace Kelly was a classic beauty, a public figure, and serious actress representative of an era. "The Movie Icon" series: People talk about Hollywood glamour, about studios that had more stars than there are in heaven, about actors who weren't actors but were icons. Other people talk about these things, TASCHEN shows you. ... more

This book is part expert selection of seminal moments, part glorious celebration of 100 years of cinema. The 1000 seminal moments will be divided into categories. The seminal films, the major players - actors, actresses, directors, producers - focusing on a moment that encompasses their contribution, great scenes, great lines and major events, from meetings and debuts to casting quirks and deaths. Whether dazzlingly inventive, technically breathtaking, shockingly simple or simply shocking, these moments took movies to their greatest heights. Some are legendary - the spectacular action sequence, awesome special effects, extraordinary performances, genius direction or unforgettable dialogue. Others are more subtle - groundbreaking films that inspired decades of imitators, the first screen appearance of a future star, the untimely death of a major player, or even the roll of the dice on the casting couch that gave us Brando's "Godfather" ... more

Author: Duncan Petrie
Published by: Random House New Zealand Ltd

Much of the visual impact of New Zealand films can be attributed directly to the cinematographer, the creative individual primarily responsible for the look of a film. The cinematographer is both an artist and a craftsman, combining a fine aesthetic sensibility and visual eye with a deep technical understanding of the properties of light, lenses, film stocks and processing. Their contribution to the visual representation of the nation is as significant as that of other visual artists such as painters and photographers. Drawing heavily on in-depth interviews with a dozen of this country's cinematographers, 'Shot in New Zealand' profiles their careers and creative contribution to New Zealand cinema, charting their creative achievements, experiences working with local and international film-makers, and resourcefulness in dealing with often limited resources and the harsh New Zealand light. Includes the following cinematographers: Warrick ... more

During the filming of his celebrated novel THE ENGLISH PATIENT, Michael Ondaatje became increasingly fascinated as he watched the veteran editor Walter Murch at work.

He worked on a whole raft of great films including the three GODFATHER films, JULIA, AMERICAN GRAFFITI, APOCALYPSE NOW, THE UNBEARABLE LIGHTNESS OF BEING and many others.

Author: Joe Eszterhas
Published by: Gerald Duckworth & Co Ltd

Joe Eszterhas has forgotten more about writing for the movies than most self-declared experts on the subject have ever learnt. In this dazzling, funny and serious guide he gives the low-down on what every Hollywood screenwriter should know from day one. Eszterhas has walked away with some of the biggest writing cheques in Hollywood history and written some of its biggest hits. He's a walking compendium on how the system we keep hearing about really works. Not since William Goldman's "Adventures in the Screen Trade" has a master of the art of story-telling on film been so candid, so engaging, and so downright helpful. This is required reading for anyone who's ever thought of writing for the screen, and for anyone who wants the inside story on the organised insanity of the movie business.
