Revolution! : the explosion of world cinema in the sixties / Peter Cowie. - 1st American ed. - New York : Faber and Faber, 2004. - xviii, 286 pages : illustrations ; 25 cm
Includes bibliographical references (pages 249-256) and index. Filmographies: pages 259-266.
Once upon a time in the fifties -- Cin�ephiles to Cin�eastes: France in transition -- The realist's eye -- The big new wave -- Burying 'Papa's Cinema' -- Towards a fresh aesthetic -- Commitment comes in from the cold -- 1968 and all that ... -- Aftermath: the impact on Hollywood -- The long goodbye.
"The 1920s may have been more significant in formative terms; other times have been more profitable for movies as an industry. But the period 1958-89 saw a brilliant explosion of talent not just in Europe but throughout the world. From France and Italy to India and Japan, Poland and Czechoslovakia to North and South America, young film-makers sprang from nowhere to challenge the drear conformity of the fifties and flout the abiding taboos, both sexual and political, of their age. The vanguard of this revolution included Godard and Truffaut, Pasolini and Bertoluoci, Oshima and Rocha, Polanski and Cassavetes."--Jacket.
