This is more what I was hoping for out of "Down & Dirty Pictures," Biskind's book about indie film in the '80s/'90s -- all the dirt, but also enough substantive discussions about technique & theory to really explain the range of tropes and artistic habits of New Hollywood filmmakers. Plus, he's great at conveying the humanity of the directors/writers/insiders/cokeheads.
