Bogdanovich's Picture Shows

In this, the only book-length analysis in English of Bogdanovich to date, the author scrutinizes the career of America's first cineaste, aiming for a thoroughly honest and objective critique of both the man and his films. Harris includes comprehensive chapters on each of the twelve films Bogdanovich has released as of 1989. By assimilating all positive and negative criticism of Bogdanovich's work over the years and re-interpreting it from a 90s perspective, Harris hopes to provide for the first time a true portrait of the filmmaker. Interspersed with comments by Bogdanovich and his collaborators.
