Robert Young began his prolific filmmaking career while a student
at Harvard University, where he majored in English literature,
founded the Harvard Film Society, and, with the help of several
colleagues, put together his first film (about a Boston factory
worker). His reputation as a documentary filmmaker earned him a
prestigious position with NBC, and he has since worked within and
without the Hollywood production system for five decades. At age
80, Robert M. Young continues to be actively involved in a variety
of projects as a commercially successful filmmaker and an
independent artist. In this compilation of 15 essays, scholars of
both English literature and film analyze the aesthetic and thematic
elements of Young's many works. Among the films examined are
Nothing But a Man, Triumph of the Spirit, Cortile Cascino,
ALAMBRISTA!, Short Eyes, Ballad of Gregorio Cortez, Extremities,
Dominick and Eugene, Talent for the Game, Roosters, Caught, and
Human Error. The book includes an extensive interview with Young
that provides a retrospect of Young's life as a director,
cinematographer, writer and producer. A filmography of Young's work
and a chronology of his life are also provided.
