Description de l'ouvrage :
Critically examines the work of American filmmaker and screenwriter, Lawrence Kasdan
Considers industrial, cultural and political contexts, revealing how Kasdan’s work has influenced – and been influenced by – wider American society
Reconciles Kasdan’s screenwriting and directing to demonstrate how each role complements the other, raising questions about the director-centered approach that still dominates film studies
Provides evidence of Kasdan’s significant contribution to the creation of the Star Wars saga and, by extension, modern cinematic storytelling
Lawrence Kasdan has created some of the most influential films in Hollywood history. He is the screenwriter of such beloved blockbusters as The Empire Strikes Back (1980), Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981), The Bodyguard (1992), and The Force Awakens (2015). Simultaneously, he has gained critical acclaim as the director of pictures that dissect contemporary American society: Body Heat (1981), The Big Chill (1983), The Accidental Tourist (1988), and Grand Canyon (1991).
