Description: Whatever your taste in movies, the filmmakers of the 1990s had it covered. On the one hand, the big studios took advantage of the ever increasing sophistication of computer generated imagery to produce spectacular, mega-budget 'event' movies like Titanic, The matirx and Mission: impossible. On the other hand, a new generation of independents like Tarantino and the Coen brothers was winning its spurs with low-tech and often low budget productions such as Reservoir dogs and The big Lebowski. Hollywood may have become besotted by all things digital, but print on paper, in the form of the poster, remained one of the most important means of promoting movies of all kinds, and the poster artists of the 90s proved they could still produce striking and alluring images. This book reproduces the pick of the decade.
