The films de Antonio made between 1963 and 1989-including Point of Order, Rush to Judgment, In the Year of the Pig, Painters Painting, and Millhouse: A White Comedy-revolutionized the documentary format and inspired a generation of artists and filmmakers. A decade after his death, his cinematic legacy-ranging from the brilliantly edited compilation of the 1954 Army-McCarthy hearings that helped construct Senator Joseph McCarthys reputation as a rogue demagogue (Point of Order) to a meditative juxtaposition of documents about F.B.I. director J. Edgar Hoover and intimate footage drawn from the filmmakers own life (Mr. Hoover and I)-remains unparalleled in American documentary film.Emile de Antonio: A Reader is the first full-length volume devoted to this major American filmmaker. It collects interviews with and writings by de Antonio; reviews and other critical material that detail the genesis, production history, and reception of his films; a comprehensive filmography; and an in-depth biographical essay. Offering a long-overdue assessment of de Antonios career, this indispensable book also makes a significant contribution to our understanding of American independent cinema at its most politically engaged.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68079213117728,"sku":"NEW0816633649","price":23.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/31r8enNMGHL.jpg?v=1793497857","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/en-gb\/products\/emile-de-antonio-a-reader-0816633649","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
