Not just a book for film buffs, it is essential reading for anyone interested in the interrelations between art, politics, and life in the second half of the twentieth century. A remarkable achievement." -Richard Roud, Founder, New York Film Festival"There is a genuine kind of honesty at work in the writing: a sense that the author wishes to describe the subject more clearly, help the reader, and not 'explain' (in the pompous sense of the word) or criticize for the sake of being superior. It's refreshing."-Ted Perry, Museum of Modern ArtAbout the author: James Monaco is author or editor of more than a dozen books on film and media, published in more than 35 editions, including American Film Now, The New Wave, The Connoisseurs' Guide to the Movies, The Film Encyclopedia, Media Culture, and Celebrity.
