About the Book
Quentin Tarantino * Steven Soderbergh * David Fincher * Paul Thomas Anderson * David O. Russell * Spike Jonze
Based on more than 100 interviews and a decade's worth of reportage, Rebels on the Backlot profiles six highly influential directors who, during the 1990s, took artistic risks and fought their way through the behemoth corporate studio system to define the modern cinema. In this provocative, insightful behind-the-scenes account, veteran Hollywood reporter Sharon Waxman explores the individual lives and struggles of these extraordinary talents as she chronicles the clash between the studio culture and the rebel spirit of artists working within it.
