The Last Great American Picture Show
brings together essays by scholars and writers who chart the changing
evaluations of the American cinema of the 1970s, sometimes referred to
as the decade of the lost generation, but now more and more recognized
as the first New Hollywood, without which the cinema of Francis Coppola,
Steven Spielberg, Robert Zemeckis, Tim Burton or Quentin Tarantino
could not have come into existence.
Identified with directors such as
Sam Peckinpah, Arthur Penn, Peter Bogdanovich, Monte Hellman, Bob
Rafelson, Hal Ashby, Robert Altman and James Toback, American cinema of
the 1970s is long overdue for this re-evaluation. Many of the films have
not only come back from oblivion, as the benchmark for new directorial
talents. They have also become cult films in the video shops and the
classics of film courses all over the world.
