Hi there. Sorry for the cross-posting. Anyway, I'm hoping someone out there can help me with this. I'm doing a thesis on authorship in cinema, and in the course of some casual reading, I serendipitously found out that Duke University Press has just released a book entitled _The New American Cinema_. In the review that I read (from the Summer '98 issue of Filmmaker magazine), the book (edited by Jon Lewis) was commended for the inclusion of an essay by Timothy Corrigan that serves as an "analysis of the evolving role of the auteur." Although the review did serve up a bit of an exposition of Corrigan's main idea, I was wondering if anyone out there who has read the piece can offer a more detailed reading of the piece. If I could, I would buy the book myself (auteurism being very much a topic of interest with me despite it being currently unfashionable), but it is rather difficult for me to come across it in my part of the world. In connection, any thoughts on the topic itself will be most welcome. Thank you very much. Andrew ---- To sign off SCREEN-L, e-mail [log in to unmask] and put SIGNOFF SCREEN-L in the message.
