The Dream Life by J Hoberman
J. Hoberman argues that in 1960s cinema, the distinction between political figures and glamorous movie stars disintegrated. He reinterprets key Hollywood movies to find the latent politics of 60s cinema and to offer a history of the era's political culture.
"One of the most vital cultural histories I’ve ever readHoberman’s deceptively easygoing yet deliriously compacted prose threads history through movie lore through McLuhanesque media criticism. . . . An extraordinary publishing evenT." David Edelstein, Slate
"So invigorating that I had to ration myself to a chapter a week." John Patterson, The Guardian
"Nobody in America writes as well about culture and film as J. Hoberman." Peter Biskind
"Packs a salient and unique wallop." Publishers Weekly
