Insightful essays and interviews throughout turn the spotlight on the important directors, iconic locations, thematic elements, and historical periods that provide insight into Los Angeles and its vibrant cinematic culture. Th demonstrates how motion pictures have contributed to the multifarious role of the city in our collective consciousness and underscores how key cinematic moments reveal aspects of its life and culture that are otherwise largely hidden from view. Further, th features city maps with information on how to locate key sites and photographs that show locations as they appear now. A guided tour of the City of Angels conducted by the likes of John Cassavetes, Robert Altman, Paul Thomas Anderson, Emerald Fennell, and John Carpenter, this concise volume reveals how Los Angeles captured the imaginations of filmmakers and audiences worldwide.
