How has American cinema engaged with the rapid transformation of
cities and urban culture since the 1960s? And what role have films
and film industries played in shaping and mediating the
"postindustrial" city? This collection argues that cinema and
cities have become increasingly intertwined in the era of
neoliberalism, urban branding, and accelerated gentrification.
Examining a wide range of films from Hollywood blockbusters to
indie cinema, it considers the complex, evolving relationship
between moving image cultures and the spaces, policies, and
politics of US cities from New York, Los Angeles, and Boston to
Detroit, Oakland, and Baltimore. The contributors address questions
of narrative, genre, and style alongside the urban contexts of
production, exhibition, and reception, discussing films including
The Friends of Eddie Coyle (1973), Cruising (1980), Desperately
Seeking Susan (1985), King of New York (1990), Inception (2010),
Frances Ha (2012), Fruitvale Station (2013), Only Lovers Left Alive
(2013), and Doctor Strange (2016).
