Inspired by European and Asian art cinema as well as Hollywood's own history of narrative ingenuity, directors such as Martin Scorsese, Robert Altman, William Friedkin, Stanley Kubrick, Woody Allen, and Francis Ford Coppola undermined the harmony of traditional Hollywood cinema and created some of the best movies ever to come out of the American film industry. Critics have previously viewed these films as a response to the cultural and political upheavals of the 1970s, but until now no one has explored how the period's inventive narrative design represents one of the great artistic accomplishments of American cinema.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eHollywood Incoherent\u003c\/i\u003e, Todd Berliner offers the first thorough analysis of the narrative and stylistic innovations of seventies cinema and its influence on contemporary American filmmaking. He examines not just formally eccentric films-\u003ci\u003eNashville\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003eTaxi Driver\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003eA Clockwork Orange\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003eThe Godfather, Part II\u003c\/i\u003e; and the films of John Cassavetes-but also mainstream commercial films, including \u003ci\u003eThe Exorcist\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Godfather\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe French Connection\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eWilly Wonka and the Chocolate Factory\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eDog Day Afternoon\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eChinatown\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Bad News Bears\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003ePatton\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eAll the President's Men\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eAnnie Hall\u003c\/i\u003e, and many others. With persuasive revisionist analyses, Berliner demonstrates the centrality of this period to the history of Hollywood's formal development, showing how seventies films represent the key turning point between the storytelling modes of the studio era and those of modern American cinema.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-5206557\"\u003eTodd Berliner\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Texas Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.94lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.65d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780292737525\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0292737521\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-PER\"\u003ePerforming Arts\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-PER004030\"\u003eFilm | History \u0026amp; Criticism\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTODD BERLINER is Associate Professor, Department of Film Studies, University of North Carolina Wilmington\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Texas Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44443247116525,"sku":"9780292737525","price":48.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/products\/img_98519cc1-545b-48c0-a17a-c61d96c29054.jpg?v=1700226936","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/products\/hollywood-incoherent-narration-in-seventies-cinema-9780292737525","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
