A groundbreaking filmmaker dogged by controversy in both his
personal life and career, Elia Kazan was one of the most important
directors of postwar American cinema. In landmark motion pictures
such as A Streetcar Named Desire, On the Waterfront, East of Eden,
and Splendor in the Grass, Kazan crafted an emotionally raw form of
psychological realism. His reputation has rested on his Academy
award-winning work with actors, his provocative portrayal of
sexual, moral, and generational conflict, and his unpopular
decision to name former colleagues as Communists before the House
Un-American Activities Committee in 1952. But much of Kazan's
influential cinematic legacy remains unexamined. Arriving in the
wake of his centenary, Kazan Revisited engages and moves beyond
existing debates regarding Kazan's contributions to film, tackling
the social, political, industrial, and aesthetic significance of
his work from a range of critical perspectives. Featuring essays by
established film critics and scholars such as Richard Schickel
(Time), Victor Navasky (The Nation), Mark Harris (Entertainment
Weekly), Kent Jones (Film Comment), Jonathan Rosenbaum (Essential
Cinema, 2004), Jeanine Basinger (The Star Machine, 2007), and Leo
Braudy (On the Waterfront, 2008), this book is a must for diehard
cinephiles and those new to Kazan alike.
