Michael Mann is one of the most important American filmmakers of
the past forty years. His films exhibit the existential concerns of
art cinema, articulated through a conspicuous and recognizable
visual style and yet integrated within classical Hollywood
narrative and genre frameworks. Since his beginnings as a
screenwriter in the 1970s, Mann has become a key figure within
contemporary American popular culture as writer, director, and
producer for film and television. This volume offers a detailed
study of Mann's feature films, from The Jericho Mile (1979) to
Public Enemies (2009), with consideration also being given to
parallels in the production, style, and characterization in his
television work. It explores Mann's relationship with classical
genres, his thematic concentration on issues of morality and
masculinity, his film adaptations from literature, and the
development and significance of his trademark visual style within
modern American cinema.
