description: One of the most exhilarating periods in film history began with Dennis Hopper's groundbreaking "Easy Rider" in 1969 and ended with Scorsese's masterpiece "Raging Bull" in 1980, with Beverly Hills shrouded under a blanket of cocaine: at least, that's how it seemed. Based on interviews with all the Hollywood players of the time, this is the story of creativity and excess in Hollywood, when Coppola, Bogdanovich, Scorsese, Lucas, Hopper, Altman and Spielberg were at the height of their powers. Recounted with refreshing candour, those involved talk about their rise to glory and the sex, drugs and money that made so many of them crash and burn.Bloomsbury 21 Edition (21 Great Reads for the 21st Century). New introduction by Hari Kunzru.
