This classic of film criticism, long considered invaluable for
its eloquent study of a problematic period in film history, is now
substantially updated and revised by the author to include chapters
beyond the Reagan era and into the twenty-first century. For the
new edition, Robin Wood has written a substantial new preface that
explores the interesting double context within which the book can
be read-that in which it was written and that in which we find
ourselves today. Among the other additions to this new edition are
a celebration of modern "screwball" comedies like "My Best Friend's
Wedding," and an analysis of '90s American and Canadian teen movies
in the vein of "American Pie," "Can't Hardly Wait," and
"Rollercoaster." Also included are a chapter on Hollywood today
that looks at David Fincher and Jim Jarmusch (among others) and an
illuminating essay on "Day of the Dead."
