About this title

Synopsis

Hollywood Renaissance is an in-depth commentary on the American films of the Seventies and the work of seven of their most distinctive, provocative directors. Hollywood is undergoing a vigorous creative regeneration, and such films as Nashville, An Unmarried Woman, The Godfather, Coming Home and Apocalypse Now attest to a new authenticity, an artistic superiority, a bright and honest perspective, and solid box office success. On a critical film-by-film basis, Diane Jacobs exhibits a remarkable sensitivity to contemporary American film and affirms the innovative energy of this new generation of Hollywood filmmakers.
