This book is definitely going to help me with my research paper!
Nice analysis (for the most part) of one of the greatest American films of the 1970's. Chronicles how the film is a portrait of an American nightmare as well as a modern urban "Western" deeply influenced by The Searchers.
I'm thinking about this movie in a whole new way now!!! Even if you kind of like the movie, pick this up and you'll have a whole new respect for it. Quick read, took less and an hour to finish.
Brilliant. Good mix of production background and scene by scene analysis. Places it in historical context, both cinematic and social.
This was the best film criticism I've ever read. It was airtight. I can't say one bad thing about it.
Amy Taubin's book-length critique of the Scorcese film. Read it for film criticism class. She came to speak in the class and I found her to be kind of full of herself.
