Description
Salesman (1966-9) is a landmark in non-fiction cinema, selected by the Library of Congress as one of the most significant American films ever made. This film follows a team of travelling Bible salesmen on the road, where the American dream of self-reliant entrepreneurship goes badly wrong for its protagonist. The documentary feature was born from the innovative approach of Albert Maysles, David Maysles and Charlotte Zwerin, who produced a carefully-orchestrated narrative drama fashioned from unexpected episodes. Working with handheld equipment and a collaborative ethos, they presented a novel cinema-going experience that challenged traditional filmmaking methods. J. M. Tyree's analysis provides an historical and cultural context for the film, raising perennial questions about reality and performance. This book offers a thought-provoking study of non-fiction cinema, shedding light on its impact and influence on world cinema.
