Description de l'ouvrage:
Examines the extensive and diverse œuvre of American filmmaker William Wyler Explores Wyler's work in connection with current themes and topics in film studies Provides cultural and political contexts for Wyler's films, including representations of class, gender, and race Assesses the relationship between classic Hollywood's studio system and the auteur theory and Wyler's hybrid influence on the history of cinema In his forty-five-year career, William Wyler not only traversed the silent and the sound eras, but also connected classic Hollywood to new Hollywood." The range of his films also spans a wide spectrum of genres: from westerns to adaptations of classic literature, from crime thrillers to rom-coms, and from controversial topics to musicals. His three Oscars for Best Director are an achievement surpassed only by John Ford. His life experience as one of Hollywood's early immigrant artists also speaks to the foreign influence on classic Hollywood. Yet despite his awards and commercial success, artistic recognition has mostly eluded Wyler. This volume of the ReFocus series attempts to analyze this Wyler paradox and also seeks to contextualize and theorize selections from Wyler's canon and his relationship to American cinematic history and American culture. This collection has gathered contributions from international authors from extremely diverse backgrounds, and therefore differing perspectives on Wyler and his work. "
Revue de Presse:
With twelve Oscar nominations for Best Director—a record that still stands—and three combined wins for Best Director and Best Picture, William Wyler is a giant of American film history. But compared to the shelves of books discussing the films of John Ford, Alfred Hitchcock, and other luminaries, his work has only rarely received its due. John M. Price’s Refocus volume aims to remedy that omission and succeeds handsomely.
