Beginning in the 1960s, the studios are in decline; aging moguls are frantic to attract an audience distracted by TV; and, in severe contrast, an explosion of creative energy in European cinema is shaking the foundations of film-making. This film presents a look at 1970s Hollywood when it was known as New Hollywood, and the director was the star of the movie. Hollywood falls to a new generation of filmmakers who usher in a renaissance of bold and influential films.
