In their bold experimentation and bracing engagement with culture
and politics, the "New Hollywood" films of the late 1960s and early
1970s are justly celebrated contributions to American cinematic
history. Relatively unexplored, however, has been the profound
environmental sensibility that characterized movies such as The
Wild Bunch, Chinatown, and Nashville. This brisk and engaging study
explores how many hallmarks of New Hollywood filmmaking, such as
the increased reliance on location shooting and the rejection of
American self-mythologizing, made the era such a vividly "grounded"
cinematic moment. Synthesizing a range of narrative, aesthetic, and
ecocritical theories, it offers a genuinely fresh perspective on
one of the most studied periods in film history.
