    In The Sky is Falling! bestselling cultural critic Peter Biskind takes us on a dizzying ride across two decades of pop culture to show how the TV and movies we love - from Game of Thrones and 24 to Homeland and Iron Man - have taught us to love political extremism. Welcome to a darkly pessimistic, apocalyptic world where winter has come, the dead are walking, and ultra violence, revenge and torture are all in a day's work. Welcome to the new normal.
  • My Lunches with Orson: Conversations between Henry Jaglom and Orson Welles Питер Бискинд
    ISBN: 9781250051707
    Год издания: 2014
    Издательство: Picador
    Based on long-lost recordings between Orson Welles and Henry Jaglom, My Lunches with Orson presents a set of riveting and revealing conversations with America's great cultural provocateur.

    There have long been rumors of a lost cache of tapes containing private conversations between Orson Welles and his friend the director Henry Jaglom, recorded over regular lunches in the years before Welles died. The tapes, gathering dust in a garage, did indeed exist, and this book reveals for the first time what they contain.

    Here is Welles as he has never been seen before: talking intimately, disclosing personal secrets, reflecting on the highs and lows of his astonishing career, the people he knew — FDR, Winston Churchill, Charlie Chaplin, Marlene Dietrich, Laurence Olivier, David Selznick, Rita Hayworth, and more — and the many disappointments of his last years. This is the great director unplugged, free to be irreverent and worse — sexist, homophobic, racist, or none of the above — because he was nothing if not a fabulator and provocateur. Ranging from politics to literature to the shortcomings of his friends and the many films he was still eager to launch, Welles is at once cynical and romantic, sentimental and raunchy, but never boring and always wickedly funny.

    Edited by Peter Biskind, America's foremost film historian, My Lunches with Orson reveals one of the giants of the twentieth century, a man struggling with reversals, bitter and angry, desperate for one last triumph, but crackling with wit and a restless intelligence. This is as close as we will get to the real Welles — if such a creature ever existed.
  • Беспечные ездоки, бешеные быки Питер Бискинд
    ISBN: 978-5-17-044733-6, 978-985-16-2169-5
    Год издания: 2007
    Издательство: АСТ, Харвест
    Язык: Русский

    В 1969 году малобюджетный байкерский фильм "Беспечный ездок" потряс Голливуд невероятным прокатным успехом и возвестил о начале новой эры. Это было время, когда молодые и талантливые режиссеры Скорсезе, Коппола и Спилберг вместе с новым поколением актеров, среди которых Де Ниро, Пачино и Николсон, стали влиятельными фигурами в кинематографе и создали современную киноклассику. Основанная на сотнях интервью самих режиссеров, продюсеров, звездных актеров, их агентов, сценаристов, руководителей студий, жен и экс-жен, эта книга - исчерпывающий и откровенный рассказ о последнем "золотом веке" Голливуда.

    ISBN: 0684862581
    Год издания: 2005
    Издательство: Simon & Schuster
    Язык: Английский

    In this “dishy…superbly reported” (Entertainment Weekly) New York Times bestseller, Peter Biskind chronicles the rise of independent filmmakers who reinvented Hollywood—most notably Sundance founder Robert Redford and Harvey Weinstein, who with his brother, Bob, made Miramax Films an indie powerhouse. As he did in his acclaimed Easy Riders, Raging Bulls, Peter Biskind “takes on the movie industry of the 1990s and again gets the story” (The New York Times). Biskind charts in fascinating detail the meteoric rise of the controversial Harvey Weinstein, often described as the last mogul, who created an Oscar factory that became the envy of…
