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

NZ$ 33.00 each
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

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
In Stock: 1
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.

Author: Bill Green
Published by: Canongate Books Ltd

In 1998, the Coen Brothers followed the global success of their smash hit "Fargo" with a rambling tale of lies, corruption and bowling in early 90s "L.A. - The Big Lebowski". It flopped at the box office. But in the years that followed, the movie took on a life of its own, spawning a culture of quotable lines, White Russians and even Lebowski Fest, an annual event attracting thousands of Big Lebowski die-hards. "I'm a Lebowski, You're a Lebowski ("That's terrific") the curators of Lebowski Fest" offers the complete guide to one of the few true cult movies of the last twenty years, with photographs, real locations and interviews with the stars of the film, including John Turturro, John Goodman, Julianne Moore and Steve Buscemi - and a foreword by the Dude himself, Jeff Bridges. The book also contains a glossary, trivia questions and the ultimate soundtrack listing - in other words, the whole Lebowski.

In this book, Maltin unearths 151 movies that he thinks have been unfairly under-rated, and explains why. Reading this book will inspire you to see all of the movies described here and you won't be disappointed in any of them.

Griffith and Charlie Chaplin to Martin Scorcese and the Coen Brothers. You'll discover that: Alfred Hitchcock lost his belly button during abdominal surgery; he loved to shock his leading ladies by pulling up his shirt and revealing his curiously smooth belly.

Hardback
Author: Duncan Petrie
Published by: Random House New Zealand Ltd
In Stock: 1
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.

Walter Murch emerged during the 1960s at the centre of a renaissance of American filmmakers which included the directors Francis Coppola, George Lucas and Fred Zinneman. 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.
