Revolution! by Peter Cowie

From across the world young film-makers emerged from nowhere to challenge the dreary conformity of the 50s and flout the taboos (both sexual and political) of their age. The foot-soldiers in this revolution included Godard, Truffaut, Pasolini and Bertolucci, Oshima and Forman and Polanski and Cassavetes. Peter Cowie was in the thick of this cultural foment, not least when some of these firebrands shut down the Cannes film festival in the heady May of 1969. This title recaptures the cultural mood of the 60s through numerous interviews with key film-making talents of the time.
Peter Cowie began writing about the cinema at Cambridge University in 1960. He has since published more than twenty books, including critical biographies of Bergman, Welles and Coppola. In 1963 he founded the annual International Film Guide, which he edited for forty years. Cowie has also provided commentaries for several DVDs of classic films in the Criterion Collection. He has served on the jury at numerous festivals and is a member of the board of the European Film College. Cowie was International Publishing Director of Variety from 1993 to 2000, and now lives in Switzerland.
