From the rear cover

"Lewis demonstrates a marvelous ability to combine, with both rigor and innovation, a productive attentiveness to the stylistic aspects of filmic works themselves and a sharp capacity to situate those works within the economics and politics of an industry. His book offers the necessary detail on Coppola's films and career while also using the case of Coppola as a model to say larger, more far-reaching things about today's Hollywood and the place, or non-place, of the creative figure within it."--Dana Polan, author of "In a Lonely Place"
