Hardcover. Zustand: Near Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Near Fine. 1st Edition. 3rd printing. 544pp. Inscribed & signed on title pages by Peter Biskind. Bright, unmarked, tight copy, gently read, in Near Fine condition. "According to Biskind, most people associate independent filmmaking with such noble concepts as integrity, vision and self-sacrifice. This gritty, ferocious, compulsively readable book proves that these characterizations are only partly true, and that indie conditions are 'darker, dirtier, and a lot smaller' than major studios' gilded environments. The intimidating image of Miramax's Harvey Weinstein plows powerfully through Biskind's saga; the studio honcho emerges as a combination of blinding charm and raging excess, a boisterous bully who tears phones out of walls and overturns tables. Former Miramax exec Patrick McDarrah, in comparing Weinstein with his brother and partner, Bob Weinstein, concludes, 'Harvey is ego, Bob is greed.' These two volatile personalities directly--and fascinatingly--contrast with the book's other protagonist, Sundance creator Robert Redford. Biskind presents Redford as passive aggressive, an invariably polite conflict avoider, but also notorious for keeping people waiting and failing to follow through on commitments. Because of the actor/director's elusive persona and his artistic tastes--which Biskind describes alternately as puritanical, conservative and mushy--the Weinsteins dominate throughout. Biskind brilliantly covers their career hits, from the high-profile acquisition of Steven Soderbergh's Sex, Lies and Videotape through backstories for Cinema Paradiso, Good Will Hunting and Chicago to brutal clashes with Martin Scorsese over Gangs of New York. And Quentin Tarantino's lust for stardom, Billy Bob Thornton's 'ornery, stick-to-your-guns' personality and Ben Affleck's frustration about being underpaid are just a few of the other mesmerizing elements Biskind includes. Above all, Biskind conveys a key truth: the Weinsteins and Redford, whatever their personal imperfections, possess a deep, overwhelming love of film."--Publishers Weekly. "In the late '60s and early '70s, the studios didn't know how to market films for the youth culture, and they turned to new young filmmakers to figure it out for them. The exact same thing happened across the '90s, and when this generation came of age, it put out very original, distinctive, mature work. They revitalized American films after a decade of it being pretty fuckin' flat. It was the first real American New Wave since the late '60s."--Edward Norton. NF hardcover w/sharp corners & crisp edges, a square binding, wrapped in a bright, intact jacket. Inscribed by Author(s).

Hardcover. First edition. First printing [stated]. x, 544 p. Illustrations. Cast of Characters. Notes. Index. Peter Biskind focuses his examination of indie filmmaking on three personalities--Robert Redford, the founder of the Sundance Film Festival, and Harvey and Bob Weinstein, co-chairmen of Miramax Films, now owned by the Walt Disney Company. Biskind traces the meteoric rise of indie film, which germinated with movies by now well-known directors--including Steven Soderbergh, Quentin Tarantino, and David O. Russell--financing their own films on minuscule budgets. His discussions of the industry contrast the differing styles of the players, with the blustery, volatile Weinstein brothers dominating.
