Pakula's political thriller \u003ci\u003eAll the President's Men\u003c\/i\u003e (1976) was met with immediate critical and commercial success upon its release, finishing second at the box office and earning seven Academy Award nominations. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Through a close reading of key scenes, performances and stylistic decisions, Christian Keathley and Robert B. Ray show how the film derives its narrative power through a series of controlled oppositions: silence vs. noise; stationary vs. moving camera; dark vs. well-lit scenes and shallow vs. deep focus, tracing how these elements combine to create an underlying formal design crucial to the film's achievement. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThey argue that the film does not fit the auteurist model of New Hollywood film-makers such as Coppola and Scorsese. Instead, \u003ci\u003eAll the President's Men \u003c\/i\u003emore closely resembles a studio-era film, the result of a collaboration between a producer (Robert Redford), multiple scriptwriters, a skilful director, important stars (Robert Redford and Dustin Hoffman), a distinctive cameraman (Gordon Willis), an imaginative art director (George Jenkins) and ingenious sound designers, who together created an enduringly great film.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e British Film Institute\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/04\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781839024047\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 112\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.48h x 5.32w x 1.00d","brand":"Robert B.
