Rewinding the '80s
Cinema Under the Influence of Music Videos, Action Stars, and a Cold War
My latest book is an entertaining overview of one of Hollywood's most misunderstood decades. From hit genres like action and horror to an emergent independent cinema, to beloved teen movies and family blockbusters, to new trends in countries like France and India, Rewinding the '80s explores the many stories that make the post-New Hollywood era such a game changer.
