{"product_id":"refocus-john-price-9781399510479","title":"Refocus: The Films of William Wyler","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn his forty-five-year career, William Wyler not only traversed the silent and the sound eras, but also connected classic Hollywood to \"new Hollywood.\" The range of his films also spans a wide spectrum of genres: from westerns to adaptations of classic literature, from crime thrillers to rom-coms, and from controversial topics to musicals. His three Oscars for Best Director are an achievement surpassed only by John Ford. His life experience as one of Hollywood's early immigrant artists also speaks to the foreign influence on classic Hollywood. Yet despite his awards and commercial success, artistic recognition has mostly eluded Wyler. This volume of the \u003ci\u003eReFocus\u003c\/i\u003e series attempts to analyze this Wyler paradox and also seeks to contextualize and theorize selections from Wyler's canon and his relationship to American cinematic history and American culture. This collection has gathered contributions from international authors from extremely diverse backgrounds, and therefore differing perspectives on Wyler and his work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Price\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1399510479\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781399510479\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 11\/30\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"John Price","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46233191743743,"sku":"9781399510479","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5d66e589-fa09-45b5-9b33-24debccbf7ca.jpg?v=1728992325","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/refocus-john-price-9781399510479","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
