An overview of film in the 70's, this book takes you through the turbulence of the decade as seen through the eyes of New Hollywood, and discusses the rise of the auteur in modern American film. OK, that sounds really boring, but in fact it's fascinating and the text is mostly first-hand stories and recollections of that time by those who were there, in all their genius and stupidity.
