Opis

On December 8, 1967 Time magazine put Bonnie and Clyde on its cover and announced, "The New Cinema: Violence ... Sex ... Art." The following decade has long been celebrated as a golden age in American film history. In this innovative study, Peter Kramer offers a systematic discussion of the biggest hits of the period (including The Graduate 1967], The Exorcist 1973] and Jaws 1975]). He relates the distinctive features of these hits to changes in the film industry, in its audiences and in American society at large.
