	ANDREW, GEOFF / GARY OLDMAN Maverick Film-Makers in Recent American Cinema - Stranger Than Paradise - Coen Brothers, David Lynch, Quentin Tarantino & Many More London: Prion Pub, 1998. 1998 Printing. Hard Cover in Dust Jacket. Photos. 6 x 9-1/2 x 1-1/3 " 1853752746 1998 Hardcover in DJ ... Brand new from publisher Prion, London ... Excellent Gift Giving quality ... Never opened, Never owned, Never marked ... 374 pages with index , illustrated with B&W Photographs ... Independent , or indie , movies and their film makers ... The Coen Brothers , Hal Hartley , Todd Haynes, Jim Jarmusch, Spike Lee, David Lynch, John Sayles, Steven Soderbergh, Quentin Tarantino , Wayne Wang, Allison Anders , Maggie Greenwald, Nancy Savaca ... In creative terms, Hollywood has come to be regarded as a spent force, increasingly given to producing undemanding action spectaculars ... Extravagant, spiralling budgets ensure that the studio committees invariably take low-risk creative decisions ... Yet at the same time the American cinema has been revitalized by the growth of the 'indie scene' - as burgeoning cinematic culture distinguished not only by the ability of young film-makers to work wonders on a low budget, but by the stylistic freshness and thematic originality of their movies ... 'Stranger than Paradise' is a ground-breaking study of some of the most talented, audacious and influential film-makers to have worked in the American cinema through the 80s and 90s ... and they've made it all the way to Cannes ... Some, such as Jarmusch, Hartley and Haynes, have remained wholly independent of Hollywood; others, like Lynch, Sayles, Wang and Sonderbergh, have alternated or combined personal projects with work for the studios; still others, like Lee or the Coen Broothers, have used the Hollywood system to bring their own special vision of of the world to a wider public; while the wunderkind Quentin Tarantino, playing new variations on traditional genres, is both taken up by Hollywood and also transforming it ... While these film-makers - to whom the book devotes individual chapters - are clearly very different, distinctive talents, they all display a robust sense of creative independence ... Reluctant to bow to the compromises favoured by mainstream Hollywood, each qualifies as an auteur ... Individual artistry, however, never exists in a vacuum ... Accordingly, the book locates their achievements within the maverick tradition of American film-making, drawing connections with Orson Welles, John Cassavetes, Roger Corman, Robert Altman and Martin Scorsese ... Geoff Andrew is film Editor at London's Time Out Magazine, and managed Electric Cinema ... He is the author of Hollywood Gangsters , Film Handbook, Films of Nicholas Ray, and others ...

Throughout her career ... Eve Arnold alternated between serious documentary photography ... and working behind the scenes on numerous films of the more mainstream Hollywood variety ... At a time when Hollywood studios controlled every aspect of their actors' image ... Arnold's candid photographs showed actors at their most intimate ... and their most compelling ... Marilyn Monroe sharing a private moment with Arthur Miller ... Marlene Dietrich uncharacteristically girlish in the recording studio ... Michael Caine and Candice Bergen doing an impromptu tango number ... and an exhausted Richard Attenborough stealing a nap in between shooting ... This beautiful book is a collection of these famous film still photos ... along with the notes and impressions made by Arnold during the shoot ... As her camera revealed the unseen sides of Hollywood legends ... Arnold also became privy to their private lives ... In her Film Journal, she writes memorably about the tensions and dramas on the film sets ... of Marilyn Monroe combing her pubic hair during an interview ... of Simone Signoret discussing her husband Yves Montand 's infidelities ... of Joan Crawford sneaking in vodka in a Pepsi cooler ... Joan had also asked to be photographed in the nude ... She was a bit late in the game for cheesecake though, and a bit too inebriated to be taken seriously, but neverthless Eve did grant the request, although the naked photos of Joan have mercifully never been shown, and are not included here ... and Marlene Dietrich recounting her night with John F. Kennedy ... With 80 previously unpublished photographs and including many old favorites, and notes from all the shoots at some of the real behind-the-scenes stuff in Hollywood ... this is a classic from one of the great photographers of our time ...

	ANDREW, GEOFF / GARY OLDMAN Maverick Film-Makers in Recent American Cinema - Stranger Than Paradise - Coen Brothers, David Lynch, Quentin Tarantino & Many More London: Prion Pub, 1998. 1998 Printing. Hard Cover in Dust Jacket. Photos. 6 x 9-1/2 x 1-1/3 " 1853752746 1998 Hardcover in DJ ... Brand new from publisher Prion, London ... Excellent Gift Giving quality ... Never opened, Never owned, Never marked ... 374 pages with index , illustrated with B&W Photographs ... Independent , or indie , movies and their film makers ... The Coen Brothers , Hal Hartley , Todd Haynes, Jim Jarmusch, Spike Lee, David Lynch, John Sayles, Steven Soderbergh, Quentin Tarantino , Wayne Wang, Allison Anders , Maggie Greenwald, Nancy Savaca ... In creative terms, Hollywood has come to be regarded as a spent force, increasingly given to producing undemanding action spectaculars ... Extravagant, spiralling budgets ensure that the studio committees invariably take low-risk creative decisions ... Yet at the same time the American cinema has been revitalized by the growth of the 'indie scene' - as burgeoning cinematic culture distinguished not only by the ability of young film-makers to work wonders on a low budget, but by the stylistic freshness and thematic originality of their movies ... 'Stranger than Paradise' is a ground-breaking study of some of the most talented, audacious and influential film-makers to have worked in the American cinema through the 80s and 90s ... and they've made it all the way to Cannes ... Some, such as Jarmusch, Hartley and Haynes, have remained wholly independent of Hollywood; others, like Lynch, Sayles, Wang and Sonderbergh, have alternated or combined personal projects with work for the studios; still others, like Lee or the Coen Broothers, have used the Hollywood system to bring their own special vision of of the world to a wider public; while the wunderkind Quentin Tarantino, playing new variations on traditional genres, is both taken up by Hollywood and also transforming it ... While these film-makers - to whom the book devotes individual chapters - are clearly very different, distinctive talents, they all display a robust sense of creative independence ... Reluctant to bow to the compromises favoured by mainstream Hollywood, each qualifies as an auteur ... Individual artistry, however, never exists in a vacuum ... Accordingly, the book locates their achievements within the maverick tradition of American film-making, drawing connections with Orson Welles, John Cassavetes, Roger Corman, Robert Altman and Martin Scorsese ... Geoff Andrew is film Editor at London's Time Out Magazine, and managed Electric Cinema ... He is the author of Hollywood Gangsters , Film Handbook, Films of Nicholas Ray, and others ...

At a time when Hollywood studios controlled every aspect of their actors' image ... Arnold's candid photographs showed actors at their most intimate ... and their most compelling ... Marilyn Monroe sharing a private moment with Arthur Miller ... Marlene Dietrich uncharacteristically girlish in the recording studio ... Michael Caine and Candice Bergen doing an impromptu tango number ... and an exhausted Richard Attenborough stealing a nap in between shooting ... This beautiful book is a collection of these famous film still photos ... along with the notes and impressions made by Arnold during the shoot ... As her camera revealed the unseen sides of Hollywood legends ... Arnold also became privy to their private lives ... In her Film Journal, she writes memorably about the tensions and dramas on the film sets ... of Marilyn Monroe combing her pubic hair during an interview ... of Simone Signoret discussing her husband Yves Montand 's infidelities ... of Joan Crawford sneaking in vodka in a Pepsi cooler ... Joan had also asked to be photographed in the nude ... She was a bit late in the game for cheesecake though, and a bit too inebriated to be taken seriously, but neverthless Eve did grant the request, although the naked photos of Joan have mercifully never been shown, and are not included here ... and Marlene Dietrich recounting her night with John F. Kennedy ... With 80 previously unpublished photographs and including many old favorites, and notes from all the shoots at some of the real behind-the-scenes stuff in Hollywood ... this is a classic from one of the great photographers of our time ...
