Description
Time is Luck: The Cinema of Michael Mann explores the director's work through the lens of transformations in labour practices, technologies of seeing, and strategies of dissent over two centuries. This study applies extensive textual analysis to each of Mann's features, revealing how these transformations are reflected in his output.
The filmmaker's response to the pervasive nature of technologically advanced systems is complex, often expressing anguish at their impact on society while also finding space for protest and resistance in his cinema. This book provides an in-depth examination of all of Mann's major films, including The Jericho Mile, Thief, The Keep, Manhunter, The Last of the Mohicans, Heat, The Insider, Ali, Collateral, Miami Vice, Public Enemies, and Blackhat.
For those interested in the textual and visual history of cinema, this book offers a unique perspective on Mann's work and its place within the broader cultural context. It is an essential read for fans of Michael Mann's films and anyone looking to gain a deeper understanding of his artistic vision.
