One of its strengths is the way in which it balances its academic preoccupations with general accessibility, facilitated through writing that elucidates rather than obscures. Godfrey's panoramic view of cinematic creation – from production conditions, to textual features, to historical reference, to critical reception – importantly places his analysis in a broad context, ensuring that there are no reasons to question his thoroughness.\"\u003c\/div\u003e— Film Matters\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e \u003cdiv\u003eThe New Hollywood era of the late 1960s and early 1970s has become one of the most romanticized periods in motion picture history, celebrated for its stylistic boldness, thematic complexity, and the unshackling of directorial ambition. \u003ci\u003eThe Limits of Auteurism\u003c\/i\u003e aims to challenge many of these assumptions. Beginning with the commercial success of \u003ci\u003eEasy Rider\u003c\/i\u003e in 1969, and ending two years later with the critical and commercial failure of that film's twin progeny, \u003ci\u003eThe Last Movie\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Hired Hand\u003c\/i\u003e, Nicholas Godfrey surveys a key moment that defined the subsequent aesthetic parameters of American commercial art cinema. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e  The book explores the role that contemporary critics played in determining how the movies of this period were understood and how, in turn, strategies of distribution influenced critical responses and dictated the conditions of entry into the rapidly codifying New Hollywood canon. Focusing on a small number of industrially significant films, this new history advances our understanding of this important moment of transition from Classical to contemporary modes of production.  \u003cbr\u003e   \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eIntroduction: open roads\u003cbr\u003e Which new Hollywood?\u003cbr\u003e Easy rider\u003cbr\u003e Variations on a theme: five easy riders\u003cbr\u003e Five easy pieces\u003cbr\u003e Two-lane blacktop\u003cbr\u003e Vanishing point\u003cbr\u003e Little Fauss and Big Halsy\u003cbr\u003e Adam at 6 a.m\u003cbr\u003e Politicizing genre.
