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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThrough 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. They trace how these elements combine to create an underlying formal design crucial to the film’s achievement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThey argue that the film does not fit the auteurist model of New Hollywood filmmakers such as Coppola and Scorsese. Instead, \u003ci\u003eAll the President’s Men\u003c\/i\u003e more 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing PTY Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47423746277612,"sku":"9781839024047","price":29.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/91Ne3XrS6RL._SL1500.jpg?v=1774429389","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/products\/all-the-presidents-men-by-robert-b-ray-9781839024047","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
