Starting with The Exorcist (1973), a terrifying film directed by William Friedkin (The French Connection, 1971), these works began to denounce the sins of modernism and implied that only true faith could ensure peace and tranquility.

They analyze the cultural and social meanings evoked by these films, and how the formal elements of these works helped shape cinema. Their premise is that if Hollywood is the dream factory, then the post-World War I ..."

"F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby still captivates readers with its vision of 1920s New York as a city of infinite potential, where ambition and defeat live hand in hand. This sentiment is captured, with even greater acuity, in the pages of Aben Kandel’s nearly forgotten masterpiece of urban life, City for Conquest (1936). The source of the classic 1940s James Cagney film of the same name, this panoramic New York novel captures the ..."

ISBN-13: 978-0-521-48518-0, ISBN: 0-521-48518-5

"The Films of Mike Leigh is the first critical study of one of the most important and eccentric directors of British independent filmmaking. Although active since 1971, Leigh has only come to the attention of an international audience in the 1990s through films such as Secrets and Lies and Career Girls. Like Robert Altman and John Cassevetes, Leigh works improvisationally, beginning with a small group of actors around whom he builds his ..."

ISBN-13: 978-1-4408-3322-9, ISBN: 1-4408-3322-2

"Brandon's loyalty to and intimacy with Steve, built on brawling rather than words, is stronger than any antagonism he has toward the Iraq War. Peirce avoids weighing Brandon down with any well-defined antiwar sentiments that go beyond his rage toward his commanding officer about being called back to the war. The film is utterly attuned to the experiences of its characters whose sense of patriotism and anguish are utterly merged. Pe ..."
