Pakula's political thriller \u003ci\u003eAll the President's Men\u003c\/i\u003e (1976) was met with immediate critical and commercial success upon its release, finishing second at the box office and earning seven Academy Award nominations.\u003cbr\u003e Through a close reading of key scenes, performances and stylistic decisions, Christian Keathley and Robert B. Ray show how the film derives its narrative power through a series of controlled oppositions- silence vs. noise; stationary vs. moving camera; dark vs. well-lit scenes and shallow vs. deep focus, tracing how these elements combine to create an underlying formal design crucial to the film's achievement. \u003cbr\u003eThey argue that the film does not fit the auteurist model of New Hollywood film-makers such as Coppola and Scorsese. Instead, \u003ci\u003eAll the President's Men \u003c\/i\u003emore closely resembles a studio-era film, the result of a collaboration between a producer (Robert Redford), multiple scriptwriters, a skilful director, important stars (Robert Redford and Dustin Hoffman), a distinctive cameraman (Gordon Willis), an imaginative art director (George Jenkins) and ingenious sound designers, who together created an enduringly great film.","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46636878168222,"sku":"UBD-9781839024047","price":26.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781839024047.jpg?v=1774398479","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781839024047","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
