Beschreibung
This is an important contribution to scholarship on American independent cinema and on actors & acting, two fields of study which have seen tremendous growth in recent years but are rarely explored together. Expertly combining textual and contextual, performance and industrial analysis, this book will, I think, soon come to be regarded as a milestone.
Peter Krämer, author of The New Hollywood: From Bonnie and Clyde to Star Wars, and editor of Screen Acting

“the book is unique in its framing and ambition. By alternating chapters on actors’ contributions to the evolution of American independent cinema with chapters showing how formalist traditions (e.g. naturalism, modernism, postmodernism) influence both performance and cinema at large, Baron and Tzioumakis provide a text especially useful to scholars of either sub-field looking for further interdisciplinarity. Despite the familiarity of its topics, the text feels especially fresh and well situated for current graduate students” (Adam Christian Clark, University of Southern California, for Historical Journal of Film, Radio and Television)
