Riassunto

The Cinema of Robert Zemeckis provides an analysis of the ongoing Zemeckis phenomenon. Kagan illuminates the director's unique blend of Hollywood magic, social commentary, and broad sense of humor. He also explores Zemeckis's impoverished Chicago upbringing; his long, fruitful relationship with mentor Steven Spielberg; his marriage and divorce from actress Mary Ellen Trainor (who appeared in three of his films); his savagely funny and unjustly underrated earlier efforts (including I Wanna Hold Your Hand and Used Cars); and the March 2001 opening of the state-of-the-art Robert Zemeckis Center for Digital Arts at the University of Southern California. Meticulously researched and illustrated with over forty film stills, The Cinema of Robert Zemeckis is the definitive overview of this intriguing and popular filmmaker.
