Another Steven Soderbergh Experience: Authorship and Contemporary Hollywood

[a very nice copy, no discernible wear to book; just the teensiest trace of soiling to the rear panel of the dust jacket]. (B&W photographs, facsimiles) In this study, the author "investigates Soderbergh's work on such films as THE LIMEY, ERIC BROCKOVICH, OCEAN'S ELEVEN and its sequels, SOLARIS, THE GOOD GERMAN, CHE, and THE INFORMANT!, as well as on the K STREET television series. Dispensing with classical auteurist models, he positions Soderbergh and authorship in terms of collaborative production, location filming activity, dealmaking and distribution, textual representation, genre and adaptation work, critical reception, and other industrial and cultural phenomena. [He] also addresses Soderbergh's role as standard-bearer for U.S. independent cinema following 1989's SEX, LIES AND VIDEOTAPE, as well as his cinephilic dialogues with different forms of U.S. and international cinema from the 1920s through the 1970s. Including an extensive new interview with the filmmaker, [the book] demonstrates how industries and institutions cultivate, recognize, and challenge creative screen artists."
