Description
The Western is a cinematic genre that has shaped America's image of itself and its place in the world. This genre has produced a rich and complex picture of the nation's history, often featuring square-jawed sheriffs and steel-nerved gunfighters. However, this image is not without its flaws, and numerous films have criticised the methods behind the myths and the personalities behind the legends. Renegade Westerns delves into the lesser-known side of this genre, exploring films that questioned the simple belief in the destiny of the United States to expand across the continent. The book examines over 100 films, from classic westerns to modern blockbusters, and features a diverse cast of characters, including western superstars and icons of modern film. By dissecting and discussing these films, Renegade Westerns offers a nuanced understanding of the Western genre and its enduring impact on American cinema. From the hidden depths of High Noon to the ferocity of The Wild Bunch, this book ranges over 70 years of movie-making, right up to the biggest westerns of recent times. With its unique perspective and in-depth analysis, Renegade Westerns is a must-have for anyone interested in the Western genre and its place in American cinema.
