Still, no other independent filmmaker of the latter 20th century may elicit such a disparity of response from general movie audiences and cult film buffs alike as the late, legendary Larry Buchanan.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e This study, the first serious examination of Buchanan's body of work, addresses consistent themes such as the end of suburbia, the rebel outsider, the oppressive establishment, the curse of fame, and \"creatures of destruction.\" The highly political subtext found in virtually every one of the filmmaker's projects is also explored. Chapters are devoted to more than 20 of Buchanan's films; information on some of the unfinished, unreleased (and in at least one case), deliberately destroyed projects is offered, as well. Photographs illustrating nearly all the films are included.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rob Craig\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0786429828\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780786429820\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e McFarland \u0026amp; Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/16\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 271\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.07lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.86h x 7.00w x 0.61d","brand":"Rob Craig","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44075422187775,"sku":"9780786429820","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_89e7bb9e-4ba4-44b2-9666-5bcd0895b14b.jpg?v=1685459325","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-films-of-larry-buchanan-rob-craig-9780786429820","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
