Pictures at a Revolution: Five Movies and the Birth of the New Hollywood - Mark Harris

Pictures at a Revolution documents the troubled, challenging, and ground-breaking productions of the five nominees for Best Picture of 1968. Upon release, these films could not have been further apart from each other in style, tone or taste, but in hindsight they are all emblematic of their time, culture, and the industry that made them. Each is a prime example of what was in, what was out, and what was to come in film and the culture at-large. This tome is packed with A-list stars, behind-the-scenes anecdotes, and the assured writing of former Entertainment Weekly editor Mark Harris. This is required American film reading and a must-have for any film fan!
