JAMES MOTTRAM

A formidable new generation of American film-makers are currently in their prime: Paul Thomas Anderson, Alexander Payne, Sofia Coppola, David Fincher, Spike Jonze, Wes Anderson, to name but six. Call them The Sundance Kids. . .A conspicuous number of these talents first kick-started their careers in the workshops of Robert Redfords Sundance Institute in Utah, or made the big time after screening their work at the Sundance Film Festival. Nowadays, acclaimed movies such as Paynes Sideways, Jonzes Being John Malkovich and Coppolas Lost in Translation have reminded people of that great period in the 1970s spearheaded by Scorsese, Altman, and Sofia Coppolas father, Francis.In this comprehensive study, James Mottram traces the roots of this new generation to Steven Soderberghs Sex, Lies and Videotape - a low-budget tour de force that premiered at Sundance en route to conquering Cannes which persuaded some of the Sundance Kids to first pick up a camera. Mottram proceeds to analyse each director and their oeuvre, placing each carefully within the context of the ever-changing landscape of American cinema over the last fifteen years. And Mottram poses the question - are we witnessing a new Golden Age of film-making?

This invaluable guidebook steers the reader through the mysteries of the movies making and its many possible meanings, with expert guidance from Nolan himself and his key creative collaborators.
