The New Hollywood by Peter Krmer
On December 8, 1967 Time magazine put Bonnie and Clyde on its cover and announced, "The New Cinema: Violence ... Sex ... Art." The following decade has long been celebrated as a golden age in American film history. In this innovative study, Peter Krämer offers a systematic discussion of the biggest hits of the period (including The Graduate [1967], The Exorcist [1973] and Jaws [1975]). He relates the distinctive features of these hits to changes in the film industry, in its audiences and in American society at large.
Peter Krämer is a Senior Research Fellow in Cinema & TV in the Leicester Media School at De Montfort University, UK. His published books include Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (2014) and The General (2016) in the BFI Film Classics series and The Hollywood Renaissance: Revisiting American Cinema's Most Celebrated Era (co-edited with Yannis Tzioumakis, Bloomsbury, 2018).
