"Easy Riders, Raging Bulls vividly chronicles the exuberance and excess of the times: the startling success of Easy Rider and the equally alarming circumstances under which it was made, with drugs, booze, and violent rivalry between costars Dennis Hopper and Peter Fonda dominating the set; how a small production company named BBS became the guiding spirit of the youth rebellion in Hollywood and how, along the way, some of its executives helped smuggle Huey Newton out of the country; how director Hal Ashby was busted for drugs and thrown in jail in Toronto; why Martin Scorsese attended the Academy Awards with an FBI escort when Taxi Driver was nominated; how George Lucas, gripped by anxiety, compulsively cut off his own hair while writing Star Wars; how a modest house on Nicholas Beach occupied by actresses Margot Kidder and Jennifer Salt became the unofficial headquarters for the New Hollywood; how Billy Friedkin tried to humiliate Paramount boss Barry Diller; and how screenwriter/director Paul Schrader played Russian roulette in his hot tub. It was a time when an "anything goes" experimentation prevailed both on the screen and off."--Jacket.… (altro)

El espectacular éxito de Easy Rider en 1969, una película de moteros de escaso presupuesto, marcó el inicio de una nueva era en Hollywood. Una generación de jóvenes directores, Scorsese, Coppola y Spielberg entre otros, comenzaron a filmar con actores aún poco conocidos, como Robert De Niro, Al Pacino y Jack Nicholson, y en pocos años se convirtieron en los nuevos y poderosos señores de Hollywood. Basado en cientos de entrevistas con los propios directores, pero también con productores, estrellas, agentes, guionistas, ejecutivos de los estudios, esposas y ex esposas, el libro de Peter Biskind narra día a día la epopeya de los jóvenes lobos de Hollywood

Great book I read for Film class. Totally forgot about it. ( )

This is a must read for lovers of cinema. It's a mixture of gossip which may/may not be true and realities. It reveals the inspirations and motivations of the likes of the likes of Spielberg, Beatty, Hal Ashby, Coppola and Scorcese. Many of these were troubled geniuses who invented a new brand of Hollywood in the process destroyed them.

It doesn't sugarcoat them and many of them are revealed as frankly awful. I think Spielberg and Lucas are the only ones who didn't really live destructive lives. It's a great read for it's blatant honesty and I'd highly recommend although I would take many of the stories with a grain of salt. But they're fascinating nonetheless. ( )

Closer to 1.5 stars. Some mildly interesting anecdotes, but I couldn't tell you exactly how Biskind develops his thesis in the total mishmash of industry tall tales that make up this book (if it wasn't spelled out in the last chapter, I don't think I could tell you it at all). So much inside baseball it ought to be printed on cork. ( )

Comment décrire ce que fut le nouvel Hollywood en quelques mots ? Ce fut une grande vague qui avança aussi loin qu'elle recula par la suite. Ce fut les invasions barbares de l'empire Hollywoodien - à ceci près qu'ici l'empire en sortit plus fort et décadent que jamais.
Pour nous faire découvrir cette période charnière de l'histoire du cinéma, Peter Biskind préfère le style du conteur à celui de la dissertation. Quelques réflexions sont présentes, et forts instructives, mais le principal matériau du livre ce sont les faits, tous les faits, qu'ils soient d'ordre publics ou privés.
Cette approche particulière risque pour beaucoup, et surtout pour l'esprit européen, d'être confondu avec du journalisme à sensation.

Biskind semble avoir la même philosophie et s'attache à nous montrer les influences réciproques de l'une sur l'autre. Et il faut avouer que cette lecture particulière nous permet de comprendre le passé mieux que bien des essais déshumanisés.
