After a streamlined account of the various postwar renaissances in film - the shock of Neorealism, the New Wave, and New American Cinema - the book features detailed examinations of the work of forty-eight auteurs, including [url] Murnau, Jean-Luc Godard, Ida Lupino, Alfred Hitchcock, Yasujir? Ozu, Stanley Kubrick, Spike Lee, Pedro Almodvar, and Jane Campion. In its focus.
