What defines ‘quality’ in contemporary Hollywood film?
Although often seen as inhospitable to such work, the studios of
the blockbuster-franchise era continue to produce features that
make claims to higher status. Films such as Social Network,
The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford and
Mystic River are marked as distinctive from the mainstream norm.
But how exactly, and how are such qualities mixed with more familiar
Hollywood ingredients, as found in larger doses in other examples
such as Blood Diamond and the blockbuster-scale ?
Quality Hollywood is the first book to address these issues, featuring close
analysis of case study films, critical responses and the wider notions of
cultural value on which these draw. Geoff King argues that such films retain
a presence as a minority strand of studio output. The reasons for this combine
factors relating to economics, the power of certain filmmakers and Hollywood s
investment in its own prestige.
With Quality Hollywood,, Geoff King provides yet another astute assessment
of contemporary cinema and contemporary culture. In incisive case studies of
films such as Inception and The Social Network, King demonstrates how issues
of authorship, style and storytelling still matter - and how quality filmmaking
has somehow persisted - in the current age of formulaic blockbusters and
dumbed-down billion-dollar franchises
