Such films as Salesman, Gimme Shelter, and Grey Gardens continue to generate intense debate about the ethics and aesthetics of the documentary form. In this in-depth study, Joe McElhaney offers a novel understanding of the historical relevance of Maysles. By closely focusing on Maysles's expressive use of his camera, particularly in relation to the filming of the human figure, this book situates Maysles's films within not only documentary film history but film history in general, arguing for their broad- ranging importance to both narrative film and documentary cinema. Complete with an engaging interview with Maysles and a detailed comparison of the variant releases of his documentary on the Beatles (What's Happening: The Beatles in the U.S.A. and The Beatles: The First U.S. Visit), this work is a pivotal study of a significant filmmaker. 600 10 Maysles, Albert|xCriticism and interpretation. 600 17 Maysles, Albert.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00343640 650 7 PERFORMING ARTS|xFilm & Video|xDirection & Production. |2bisacsh 650 7 PERFORMING ARTS|xFilm & Video|xHistory & Criticism. |2bisacsh 655 7 Criticism, interpretation, etc.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01411635 720 McElhaney, Joe. 776 08 |iPrint version:|z9780252034299|z0252034295|w(DLC) 2008037212 830 0 Contemporary film directors. 914 ocn817810758 994 93|bGTK
