| - | This is a study of the outsider directors who have come to dominate America's and Hollywood's creative output in the last two decades: the [[Coen Brothers]]; [[Hal Hartley]]; [[Todd Haynes]]; [[Jim Jarmusch]]; [[Spike Lee]]; [[Richard Linklater]]; [[David Lynch]]; [[John Sayles]]; [[Steven Soderbergh]]; [[Quentin Tarantino]]; [[Wayne Wang]]. The book places these directors within the story of the growth of American independent film-making, and draws connections to their forerunners from the late-1960s and 1970s, influences such as [[Robert Altman]], [[John Cassavetes]], [[Roger Corman]], [[Martin Scorcese]]. As well as a chapter on each of the above 11 directors, the book provides a general assessment of the explosion of independent cinema in the States: mainstream mavericks ([[Tim Burton]], [[John Dahl]]); new queer cinema ([[Rose Troche]], [[Tom Kalin]]); black film-makers ([[Charles Burnett]], [[John Singleton]]); women directors ([[Alison Anders]], [[Maggie Greenwald]]); experimentors, imitators, cult figures, and a peripheral cast of hundreds from [[Steve Buscemi]] to [[Gus Van Sant]]. | + | |
