Publisher Synopsis
Elia Kazanâ' s reputation has been kicked around - since his controversial Life Achievement Award at the 1999 Academy Awards and his obituaries four years later - in ways which have seriously obscured an understanding of his work as a filmmaker. Brian Neve's book, by judicious use of archive material (notebooks, letters, scripts) and careful analysis of the films themselves as well as their critical afterlife, at last sets the record straight. The books sensitive treatment of the HUAC hearings of 1952, and well-informed analysis of such key films as 'Viva Zapata', 'On the Waterfront', 'Baby Doll' and the underrated 'The Arrangement', amount to a major critical achievement. 'Elia Kazan: The Cinema of an American Outsider' is less interested in settling old scores than in taking the work of this deep-thinking, driven artist - who made one big mistake in April 1952 - as seriously as it deserves - Christopher Frayling. Working with an impressively wide variety of archival material, including Kazanâ  s personal papers and notebooks, Brian Neve here offers a solidly researched, insightful, and historically grounded portrait of Elia Kazan, his working methods, his 19 feature films from 'A Tree Grows in Brooklyn' (1945) to 'The Last Tycoon' (1976), and his place in the cinematic and social world of his age - Chuck Maland, Professor of Cinema Studies & American Studies, University of Tennessee.
