Scott Simmon

The Films of D. W. Griffith

Herausgeber: Carney, Raymond

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The Films of D.W. Griffith serves as an introduction to, and a cultural argument for, the work of the first widely acknowledged master filmmaker. Situating D.W. Griffith within film history and American studies, Scott Simmon addresses Griffith's competing reputations as a genius of cinematic form and a retrograde purveyor of reactionary and racist tales.
