The Big Lebowski by Jm Tyree

The Big Lebowski by Jm Tyree

Since its release, The Big Lebowski has become a classic. This study sets the movie into the context of 1990s Hollywood cinema, anatomised for its relationship with the classics which it satirises, and discussed in terms of its key theme: the hopeless flailing of ridiculously unmanly men in the world of put-on identities that is Los Angeles.
