Description: Today over half a century later great films are measured by those of the 70s. Has there been a more impactful 10 - year period? For the first time cinema reflected life and society presenting both on the big screen with a compelling and penetrating truth. Directors became household names often overnight and films routinely broke box office records. With censorship relaxed the subject matter could include alienation descents into madness drug addiction dysfunctional relationships promiscuity alcoholism PTSD and any big news story of the day. Audiences gladly absorbed this new shocking reality; in fact they avoided films that candy - coated the truth. Musicals evolved westerns all but died for several years science fiction and fantasy made an incredible resurgence and horror dominated the box office along with disaster films. But by and large films about social issues were the best draw. With 120 color and black and white photographs this book celebrates the cinema of the 70s. What a decade!
