Steven Spielberg

This book reveals how Spielberg utilises stylistic strategies that are both unique and innovative when considered within the context of the classical Hollywood system. James Mairata identifies two distinct systems at work in Spielberg's application of style. One is the use of deep space compositions and staging, a form that was commonly seen in Hollywood cinema until the rise of the 'New Hollywood' in the early 1970s.

Steven Spielberg nasce a Cincinnati il 18 dicembre 1946. Cineasta popolare per eccellenza, magnate dei media, emblema del dominio hollywoodiano sull'immaginario globale. Sospeso tra fascinazione infantile e vocazione autoriale, tra nostalgia per il classico e ossessione per il contemporaneo, il suo cinema ha saputo farsi mito, spesso immortalando lo spirito dei tempi. Tra i suoi film: Lo squalo (1975), I predatori dell'arca perduta (1981 ), E.T. L'extraterrestre (1982), Jurassic Park 0993), Minority Report (2002), Lincoln (2012).
