In this book, the author has published extensively on American
cinema. It covers a range of well-known films and film-makers. This
is the first book to analyse the relationship and interaction
between Independent film and Hollywood.Indiewood is the place where
Hollywood and the American independent sector meet, where lines
blur and two very different kinds of cinema come together in a
striking blend of creativity and commerce. This is an arena in
which innovative, sometimes challenging cinema reaches out to the
mainstream. Or, alternatively, a zone of duplicity and compromise
in which the 'true' heritage of the indie sector is co-opted as an
offshoot of Hollywood."Indiewood" is the first book to provide
objective analysis of this distinctive region of the contemporary
American film landscape. Case studies include the work of Quentin
Tarantino, Charlie Kaufman and Steven Soderbergh and the output of
the studio 'specialist' divisions Miramax and Focus Features.From
the stylized violence and cult film referencing of "Kill Bill" to
the literary resonances of "Shakespeare in Love" and from the
mind-bending scripts of Kaufman ("Being John Malkovich",
"Adaptation", "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind") to
Soderbergh's "Traffic" and "Solaris", Geoff King examines the way
Indiewood features combine mainstream with more unconventional
features in an attempt to have it both ways: to remain accessible
while offering markers of distinction designed to appeal to more
particular, niche-audience constituencies.
