The Off-Hollywood Film Guide cuts through the clutter of the thousands of films currently available on video and DVD by specifically catering to independent- and foreign-film enthusiasts. In addition to a list of essential must-see films, this guide includes hundreds of entries, each with brief commentary and a list of pertinent details, such as release date, cast, director, awards garnered, special DVD features, and double-feature suggestions. The listings are also cross-referenced by genre, director, actors, and country of origin.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
"he movies that I love most are the ones that offer something unexpected, something a few feet (or maybe a mile or two) off the beaten track," says film writer Wiener. His book, a compendium of over 650 foreign and independent films, praises "less-than-famous men and women filmmakers" from the 1960s through the present time. With a massive listing of films from the French C sar Award winning A Nos Amours to the 44-minute-long Zero for Conduct, Wiener offers key facts and about a paragraph of background information for each entry.A section on subgenres and indexes of directors, actors and countries round out this authoritative reference.
