With popular film critic Adam Nayman
In the late 1960s and 1970s, the traditional structures and economics of American studio filmmaking were buckling amidst widespread cultural and technological change. There emerged a group of young, talented and eccentric directors such as Scorsese, Coppola, Lucas and Spielberg, who were able to work the Hollywood system on their own terms, re-energizing American cinema, and ushering in a new wave of reality-driven, independent and blockbuster films. In this series, film critic Adam Nayman will look at a number of key movies made between 1969 and 1980, from Easy Rider to Heavens' Gate, and the lasting impact these directors made on the industry and the art form.
