In the late 1960s, Hollywood was still trying to maintain the
studio system of the '40s and '50s, but in the real world things
were changing and eventually even the ingrained old guard had to
go, overthrown by the young Turks. It all started with Easy Rider,
a film still after 30 years subject to much contention about who
wrote what, and for the next years some of the finest American
movies of all time were produced. But too much easy sex, money and
drugs destroyed much of the young talent of that time, leaving us
with the big-budget, cynical action films that fill the cinemas
now. (Kirkus UK)
Peter Biskind's extraordinary book tells the story of creativity and excess in Hollywood. From the making of Easy Riders in 1969 to the release of Ragnig Bull in 1980 — when Coppola, Bogdanovich, Scorsese, Lucas, Hopper, Altman and Spielberg were at the height of their powers — Beverly Hills tossed and turned under a blanket of cocaine. All the biggest names spill their frankest stories, about sex, drugs and money, and, most venomously, about each other.
'If there is a better book about the inside of the film industry, I'd like to see it' —Nick Lezard, Sunday Times
