William Friedkin is the director of genre-defining works such as
The French Connection (1971) and The Exorcist (1973), controversial
productions like Cruising (1980) and Killer Joe (2011), as well as
understudied films including The Birthday Party (1968), Sorcerer
(1977) and The Hunted (2003). This book, the first scholarly study
of Friedkin's films, reveals how they confront the ambiguities of
law and morality, issues of subjectivity and problems of faith,
while raising key questions around emotion and narrative in the
cinema.Placing his work in the historical contexts of the Vietnam
War and Nixon's presidency, ReFocus: The Films of William Friedkin
also examines the director's representations of sex and violence
after the dismantling of the Production Code and in light of the
rise and fall of New Hollywood cinema.
