Описание: Rebecca Prime documents the untold story of the American directors, screenwriters, and actors who exiled themselves to Europe as a result of the Hollywood blacklist. During the 1950s and 1960s, these Hollywood émigrés directed, wrote, or starred in almost one hundred European productions, their contributions ranging from crime film masterpieces like Du rififi chez les hommes (1955, Jules Dassin, director) to international blockbusters like The Bridge on the River Kwai (1957, Carl Foreman and Michael Wilson, screenwriters) and acclaimed art films like The Servant (1963, Joseph Losey, director).At once a lively portrait of a lesser-known American “lost generation” and an examination of an important transitional moment in European cinema, the book offers a compelling argument for the significance of the blacklisted émigrés to our understanding of postwar American and European cinema and Cold War relations. Prime provides detailed accounts of the production and reception of their European films that clarify the ambivalence with which Hollywood was regarded within postwar European culture. Drawing upon extensive archival research, including previously classified material, Hollywood Exiles in Europe suggests the need to rethink our understanding of the Hollywood blacklist as a purely domestic phenomenon. By shedding new light on European cinema’s changing relationship with Hollywood, the book illuminates the postwar shift from national to transnational cinema.

Описание: The New Hollywood of the late 1960s and 1970s is among the mostinfluential periods in the history of film. It was a time of unprecedentedcreative risks, as the myths and moral certainties of 'old Hollywood' collidedwith the subversive and questioning stance of a new wave of young and talentedpractitioners. As the fault lines of the Vietnam War, Civil Rights Movement andthe Watergate scandal shook America to its core; films expressed a profoundsense of uncertainty, change and possibility.Longone of Hollywood's most popular genres, a new wave of historical films thrivedin the era of New Hollywood. The New Hollywood Historical Film: 1967-78explores new directions and perspectives considering iconic films; American Graffiti (1973), The Dirty Dozen (1967), Grease (1978) and The Way We Were (1973), as well as lesser known gems, such as Sounder (1973) and The Day of the Locust (1975). Based on original research, TomSymmons analyses their production and reception, examining how the pastdepicted on film was profoundly shaped by the controversies and concerns of thepresent.
