{"product_id":"refocus-alexandra-heller-nicholas-9781474440189","title":"Refocus: The Films of Elaine May","description":"\u003cp\u003eSpanning from obscurity to notoriety, the films of director, screenwriter, actor and comic Elaine May have recently experienced a long-overdue renaissance. Although she made only four films -- \u003cem\u003eA New Leaf\u003c\/em\u003e (1971), \u003cem\u003eThe Heartbreak Kid\u003c\/em\u003e (1972), \u003cem\u003eMikey and Nicky\u003c\/em\u003e (1976) and \u003cem\u003eIshtar\u003c\/em\u003e (1987) -- and never reached the level of acclaim of her frequent collaborator Mike Nichols, May's work is as enigmatic, sophisticated and unceasingly fascinating as her own complicated, reluctant star persona. This collection focuses both on the films she has directed, and also emphasises her work with other high profile collaborators such as John Cassavetes, Warren Beatty and Otto Preminger.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alexandra Heller-Nicholas\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1474440185\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781474440189\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Edinburgh University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/05\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.40w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2020","brand":"Alexandra Heller-Nicholas","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44123877343487,"sku":"9781474440189","price":125.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b1c85550-d256-424b-8bdc-5bbf7dac3b71.jpg?v=1687433414","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/refocus-alexandra-heller-nicholas-9781474440189","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
