Dirty Real : Exile on Hollywood and Vine with the Gin Mill Cowboys, Hardback Book

Dirty Real : Exile on Hollywood and Vine with the Gin Mill Cowboys Hardback

Hardback

Pre-Order

Description

This is the tale of how Hollywood, inspired by the success of Easy Rider, sold a cycle of films as the new dirty real.

Dennis Hopper, Peter Fonda, Monte Hellman, Jack Nicholson, Kris Kristofferson and Sam Peckinpah, among others, drew on a nostalgia for the gutter and donned bohemian personae, pulling on soiled shirts and scuffed boots, to better counter the glamour and phoniness of Tinseltown.

With great care for the historical record and displaying a refined critical acuity, Peter Stanfield captures that pivotal moment when Hollywood tried to sell a begrimed vision of itself to the world.
