Summary:

New Hollywood extends from the radical gestures of the 'Hollywood Renaissance' of the late 1960s and early 1970s to the current dominance of the corporate blockbuster. Geoff King covers new Hollywood dynamically and accessibly in this introductory text. He examines many and diverse films as well as the film-makers and film companies, focusing on the interactions between different levels, for example, the studios' position within media conglomerates today and the impact on New Hollywood of television and advertising.
