Tóm tắt

"This first full-career retrospective study of Nichols' force in the American arts begins with his filmmaking in satirical comedy and Broadway theatre and devotes chapters to each of his 20 feature films. Nichols' permanent achievements are his critique of the ways in which culture constructs conformity and his tempered optimism about individuals' liberation by transformative awakening"-- Provided by publisher.
