Description

"Few other contemporary Hollywood filmmakers fit the category of "genre stylist" as well as Michael Mann, the director of such films as Heat, The Insider, Ali, Collateral, The Last of the Mohicans, Manhunter, Thief, The Keep, and Miami Vice. Mann's film style marks him as a director who chooses the iconographic backdrop of a genre as a canvas upon which he and his collaborators can craft a unique cinematic vision. The Cinema of Michael Mann traces the under-explored stylistic contours of Mann's work, the director's inflection upon and innovation within preexisting genre frameworks, and the relationship of both style and genre to issues of authorship and film criticism. Steven Rybin's critical study of Mann's cinema and the importance of the filmmaker's themes to our contemporary world is valuable for film scholars and cinephiles alike."--BOOK JACKET.
