In the late 1980s a generation of filmmakers began to flower
outside the Hollywood studio system and in the following decade,
the independent film movement bloomed. Dozens of lesser-known
filmmakers such as Steven Soderbergh and Quentin Tarantino began
walking away with coveted prizes at Cannes and eventually the
Academy Awards. Many of these directors were discovered at Robert
Redford's Sundance Film Festival and then scooped up by Harvey and
Bob Weinstein, whose company Miramax laid waste to the competition.
In Down and Dirty Pictures, Peter Biskind tells the incredible
story of these filmmakers, the growth of Sundance into the premier
showcase of independent film, and the meteoric rise of the
controversial Weinstein brothers who left a trail of carnage in
their wake yet created an Oscar factory that is the envy of the
studios.
