Conditions, technologies and presence -- Conclusion: coming to terms with Mr Meek -- Index.In their bold experimentation and bracing engagement with culture and politics, the "New Hollywood" films of the late 1960s and early 1970s are justly celebrated contributions to American cinematic history. Relatively unexplored, however, has been the profound environmental sensibility that characterized movies such as The Wild Bunch, Chinatown, and Nashville. This brisk and engaging study explores how many hallmarks of New Hollywood filmmaking, such as the increased reliance on location shooting and the rejection of American self-mythologizing, made the era such a vividly "grounded" cinematic moment. Synthesizing a range of narrative, aesthetic, and ecocritical theories, it offers a genuinely fresh perspective on one of the most studied periods in film history.Environmentalism in motion picturesEcology in motion picturesEnvironmental protection and motion picturesMotion picturesUnited StatesHistory20th centuryPerforming ArtsFilmHistory & CriticismEnvironmentalism in motion pictures.Ecology in motion pictures.Environmental protection and motion pictures.Motion picturesHistory791.436553O'Brien Adam1982-1053111UkMaJRUBOOK9910433240503321Transactions with the world2484813UNINA
