New Hollywood
Template:Short description Template:Use American English Template:Use mdy dates Template:Infobox Film Movement The New Hollywood, Hollywood Renaissance, or American New Wave, was a movement in American film history from the 1960s to the 1980s, when a new generation of filmmakers came to prominence. They influenced the types of film produced, their production and marketing, and the way major studios approached filmmaking.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> In New Hollywood films, the film director, rather than the studio, took on a key authorial role.<ref name="limitsofauteurism" />
The definition of "New Hollywood" varies, depending on the author, with some defining it as a movement and others as a period. The span of the period is also a subject of debate, as well as its integrity, as some authors, such as Thomas Schatz, argue that the New Hollywood consists of several different movements. The films made in this movement are stylistically characterized in that their narrative often deviated from classical norms. After the demise of the studio system and the rise of television, the commercial success of films was diminished.<ref name="limitsofauteurism" />

Technicolor developed a far more widespread use, while widescreen processes and technical improvements, such as CinemaScope, stereo sound, and others, such as 3-D, were invented to retain the dwindling audience and compete with television. However, these were generally unsuccessful in increasing profits.<ref>David E James, Allegories of Cinema, American Film in the Sixties, Princeton University Press, New York, 1989, pp. 14–26</ref> By 1957, Life magazine called the 1950s "the horrible decade" for Hollywood.

In the 1950s and early 1960s, Hollywood was dominated by musicals, historical epics, and other films that benefited from the larger screens, wider framing, and improved sound. However, audience shares continued to dwindle, and had reached alarmingly low levels by the mid-1960s. Several costly flops, including Doctor Dolittle,<ref>The New Hollywood and the Independent Hollywood|American Independent Cinema: An Introduction – Oxford Academic</ref> Tora! Tora!

By the time the Baby Boomer generation started to come of age in the 1960s, "Old Hollywood" was rapidly losing money; the studios were unsure how to react to the much-changed audience demographics. The change in the market during the period went from a middle-aged high school-educated audience in the mid-1960s to a younger, more affluent, college-educated demographic: by the mid-1970s, 76% of all movie-goers were under 30, 64% of whom had gone to college.<ref>Template:Harvp</ref> European films, both arthouse and commercial (especially the Commedia all'italiana, the French New Wave, the Spaghetti Western), and Japanese cinema<ref name="rafelsonap"/> were making a splash in the United States – the huge market of disaffected youth seemed to find relevance and artistic meaning in movies like Michelangelo Antonioni's Blowup, with its oblique narrative structure and full-frontal female nudity.<ref>David A Cook, "Auteur Cinema and the film generation in 70s Hollywood", in The New American Cinema by Jon Lewis (ed), Duke University Press, New York, 1998, pp. 1–4</ref><ref name="Time">Template:Cite web</ref>

Bonnie and Clyde and The Graduate
A defining film of the New Hollywood generation was Bonnie and Clyde (1967).<ref name="ST">Template:Cite web</ref> Produced by and starring Warren Beatty and directed by Arthur Penn, its combination of graphic violence and humor, as well as its theme of glamorous disaffected youth, was a hit with audiences. The film eventually won Academy Awards for Best Supporting Actress (Estelle Parsons)<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> and Best Cinematography.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref><ref>Template:Cite web</ref>
When Jack L. Warner, then-CEO of Warner Bros., first saw a rough cut of Bonnie and Clyde in the summer of 1967, he hated it. Distribution executives at Warner Brothers agreed, giving the film a low-key premiere and limited release. Their strategy appeared justified when Bosley Crowther, middlebrow film critic at The New York Times, gave the movie a scathing review. "It is a cheap piece of bald-faced slapstick comedy," he wrote, "that treats the hideous depredations of that sleazy, moronic pair as though they were as full of fun and frolic as the jazz-age cut-ups in Thoroughly Modern Millie..." Other notices, including those from Time and Newsweek magazines, were equally dismissive.<ref name="newwave">Template:Cite web</ref>
Its portrayal of violence and ambiguity in regard to moral values, and its startling ending, divided critics. Following one of the negative reviews, Time magazine received letters from fans of the movie, and according to journalist Peter Biskind, the impact of critic Pauline Kael in her positive review of the film (October 1967, New Yorker) led other reviewers to follow her lead and re-evaluate the film (notably Newsweek and Time).<ref>Template:Harvp</ref> Kael drew attention to the innocence of the characters in the film and the artistic merit of the contrast of that with the violence in the film: "In a sense, it is the absence of sadism — it is the violence without sadism — that throws the audience off balance at Bonnie and Clyde. The brutality that comes out of this innocence is far more shocking than the calculated brutalities of mean killers." Kael also noted the reaction of audiences to the violent climax of the movie, and the potential to empathize with the gang of criminals in terms of their naiveté and innocence reflecting a change in expectations of American cinema.<ref>Pauline Kael, "Bonnie and Clyde" in, Pauline Kael, For Keeps (Plume, New York, 1994) pp. 141–57. Originally published in The New Yorker, October 21, 1967</ref>
The cover story in Time magazine in December 1967, celebrated the movie and innovation in American New Wave cinema. This influential article by Stefan Kanfer claimed that Bonnie and Clyde represented a "New Cinema" through its blurred genre lines, and disregard for honored aspects of plot and motivation, and that "In both conception and execution, Bonnie and Clyde is a watershed picture, the kind that signals a new style, a new trend."<ref name="Time"/> Biskind states that this review and turnaround by some critics allowed the film to be re-released, thus proving its commercial success and reflecting the move toward the New Hollywood.<ref>Template:Harvp</ref> The impact of this film is important in understanding the rest of the American New Wave, as well as the conditions that were necessary for it.
Also released the same year was another era-defining hit about the celebration of youthful rebellion The Graduate, starring Dustin Hoffman, with soundtrack by the popular folk duo Simon & Garfunkel<ref name="mubi.com"/><ref name="15bestmoviesongs"/><ref name="rediscover"/> and directed by Mike Nichols (for which he won the film's sole Oscar for Best Director), about Benjamin, a young college graduate rejecting the traditional values of his parents and their hypocritical society alongside a future in "plastics".<ref name="digitalhistory"/><ref>10 Best English Movies Influenced By The French New Wave – Screen Rant</ref>
These initial successes paved the way for the studio to relinquish almost complete control to these innovative young filmmakers. In the mid-1970s, idiosyncratic, startlingly original films such as Paper Moon, Dog Day Afternoon, Chinatown, and Taxi Driver, among others, enjoyed enormous critical and commercial success. These successes by the members of the New Hollywood led each of them in turn to make more and more extravagant demands, both on the studio and eventually on the audience.
Characteristics
The new generation of Hollywood filmmakers was most importantly, from the studios' view, young, therefore able to reach the youth audience they were losing. This collective of actors, screenwriters and directors, dubbed the "New Hollywood" by the press, briefly changed the business from the producer-driven Hollywood system of the past as Todd Berliner has written about the period's unusual narrative practices.<ref name="quackser"/>
The 1970s, Berliner says, marks Hollywood's most significant formal transformation since the conversion to sound film and is the defining period separating the storytelling modes of the studio era and contemporary Hollywood. New Hollywood films deviate from classical narrative norms more than Hollywood films from any other era or movement. Their narrative and stylistic devices threaten to derail an otherwise straightforward narration. Berliner argues that five principles govern the narrative strategies characteristic of Hollywood films of the 1970s:
- Seventies films show a perverse tendency to integrate, in narrative incidental ways, story information and stylistic devices counterproductive to the films' overt and essential narrative purposes.
- Hollywood filmmakers of the 1970s often situate their film-making practices in between those of classical Hollywood and those of European and Asian art cinema.
- Seventies films prompt spectator responses more uncertain and discomforting than those of more typical Hollywood cinema.
- Seventies narratives place an uncommon emphasis on irresolution, particularly at the moment of climax or in epilogues, when more conventional Hollywood movies busy themselves tying up loose ends.
- Seventies cinema hinders narrative linearity and momentum and scuttles its potential to generate suspense and excitement.<ref>Template:Harvp</ref>
Seventies cinema also dealt with female identity in the era of second wave feminism, masculine crises featuring flawed male characters, downbeat conclusions and pessimistic subject mattersTemplate:Refn alongside emotional realism in female identity stories,<ref>Essential Cinema: On Our Way to Where: Women of '70s Cinema|Austin Film Society</ref> negative attitudes toward authoritative institutions and other aspects of American life<ref name="hollywoodandbabyboom"/><ref>Nixonland: Horror in the Vietnam Era – TRYLON</ref> and hard-nosed depictions of an America reeling from tense conflicts like The Vietnam War and President Richard Nixon's Watergate scandal.<ref name="americannightmare">Nightmare Movies: Horror on Screen Since the 1960s – Google Books (pgs.379-381)</ref><ref name="shadowcinemaofamerican70s"/><ref name="sept2025"/> Some New Hollywood titles like Hopper's acid western<ref name="LSD"/> The Last Movie and Brian De Palma's musical Phantom of the Paradise had more eccentric characteristics including indulgent storylines and dizzying disregard of genre conventions.<ref>Eccentric Cinema: Overlooked Oddities and Ecstasies, 1963–82|BAMPFA</ref>
Thomas Schatz points to another difference with the Hollywood Golden Age, which deals with the relationship of characters and plot. He argues that plot in classical Hollywood films (and some of the earlier New Hollywood films like The Godfather) "tended to emerge more organically as a function of the drives, desires, motivations, and goals of the central characters". However, beginning with mid-1970s, he points to a trend that "characters became plot functions".<ref>Template:Harvp</ref>
During the height of the studio system, films were made almost exclusively on set in isolated studios. The content of films was limited by the Motion Picture Production Code, and though golden-age film-makers found loopholes in its rules, the discussion of more taboo content through film was effectively prevented. The shift towards a "new realism" was made possible when the Motion Picture Association of America film rating system was introduced and location shooting was becoming more viable. New York City was a favorite spot for this new set of filmmakers due to its gritty and grimy atmosphere.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref><ref name="fordtocity"/><ref name="amny70s"/><ref>How the Movies Captured Times Square's Grimy Golden Age|Current|The Criterion Collection</ref><ref>Wild on New York's Streets – Shepherd Express</ref>
Because of breakthroughs in film technology (e.g. the Panavision Panaflex camera, introduced in 1972; the Steadicam, introduced in 1976), the New Hollywood filmmakers could shoot 35mm camera film in exteriors with relative ease. Since location shooting was cheaper (no sets need to be built) New Hollywood filmmakers rapidly developed the taste for location shooting, resulting in a more naturalistic approach to filmmaking, especially when compared to the mostly stylized approach of classical Hollywood musicals and spectacles made to compete with television during the 1950s and early 1960s. The documentary films of D.A. Pennebaker, Emile de Antonio, the Maysles Brothers and Frederick Wiseman, among others, also influenced filmmakers of this era.<ref name="Filmmuseum - Program SD">Template:Cite web</ref><ref name="dochistories"/>
However, in editing, New Hollywood filmmakers adhered to realism more liberally than most of their classical Hollywood predecessors, often using editing for artistic purposes rather than for continuity alone, a practice inspired by European art films and classical Hollywood directors such as D. W. Griffith and Hitchcock. Films with unorthodox editing included Easy RiderTemplate:'s use of jump cuts (influenced by the works of experimental collage filmmaker Bruce Conner)<ref>Template:Cite news</ref><ref>Template:Cite web</ref><ref>Template:Cite web</ref> to foreshadow the climax of the movie, as well as subtler uses, such as those to reflect the feeling of frustration in Bonnie and Clyde, the subjectivity of the protagonist in The Graduate and the passage of time in the famous match cut from 2001: A Space Odyssey.<ref>Template:Harvp</ref><ref>Template:Cite web</ref> Dense sound design was also commonplace during this era.<ref>Simultaneous Tensions: The Duo-Vision of Wicked, Wicked – Art & Trash</ref>
Also influential were the works of experimental and structural filmmakers Arthur Lipsett,<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> Stan Brakhage,<ref name="rosenbaum"/> Bruce Baillie,<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> Jordan Belson,<ref name="atacrossroads">Stanley Kubrick, at the Crossroads of a Work – La cinémathèque française</ref><ref name="kubricksspaceodyessey"/> John Whitney,<ref name="kubricksspaceodyessey">Kubrick's Space Odyssey – Museum of the Moving Image</ref> Scott Bartlett,<ref>Scott Bartlett: The Meaning of the Universe – Spectacle Theater</ref> Maya Deren,<ref name="hownewhollywoodcreatedamericanindie"/> Andy Warhol,<ref name="Filmmuseum - Program SD"/> Michael Snow and Kenneth Anger<ref name="rosenbaum"/> with their combinations of music and imagery and each were cited by George Lucas, Francis Ford Coppola and Martin Scorsese as influences.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref><ref name="hownewhollywoodcreatedamericanindie">Watch: How New Hollywood Created the American Indie – No Film School</ref> The New Hollywood generation of directors and screenwriters (each educated at either USC, UCLA, NYU and AFI<ref name="postfordist"/>) such as Coppola, Lucas, Scorsese, Steven Spielberg, John Milius and Paul Schrader<ref>Template:Cite book</ref> were sometimes jokingly labeled as "Movie Brats" or "Young Turks".<ref>Template:Cite news</ref>
The end of the production code enabled New Hollywood films to feature anti-establishment political themes, the use of rock music, and sexual freedom deemed "counter-cultural" by the studios.<ref>Template:Harvp</ref> The youth movement of the 1960s turned anti-heroes like Bonnie and Clyde and Cool Hand Luke into pop-culture idols, and Life magazine called the characters in Easy Rider "part of the fundamental myth central to the counterculture of the late 1960s."<ref name="Monaco_182_188">Template:Harvp</ref> Easy Rider also affected the way studios looked to reach the youth market.<ref name="Monaco_182_188"/> The success of Midnight Cowboy, in spite of its "X" rating, was evidence for the interest in controversial themes at the time and also showed the weakness of the rating system and segmentation of the audience.<ref>Template:Harvp</ref>
Interpretations on defining the movement
For Peter Biskind, the new wave was foreshadowed by Bonnie and Clyde and began in earnest with Easy Rider. Biskind's book Easy Riders, Raging Bulls argues that the New Hollywood movement marked a significant shift towards independently produced and innovative works by a new wave of directors, but that this shift began to reverse itself when the commercial success of Jaws and Star Wars led to the realization by studios of the importance of blockbusters, advertising and control over production (even though the success of The Godfather was said to be the precursor to the blockbuster phenomenon).<ref>Template:Harvp</ref><ref>Template:Cite web</ref>
Writing in 1968, critic Pauline Kael argued that the importance of The Graduate was in its social significance in relation to a new young audience, and the role of mass media, rather than any artistic aspects. Kael argued that college students identifying with The Graduate were not too different from audiences identifying with characters in dramas of the previous decade.<ref>Pauline Kael, "Trash, Art, and the Movies" in Going Steady, Film Writings 1968–69, Marion Boyers, New York, 1994, pp. 125–7</ref> She also compared this era of cinema to "tangled, bitter flowering of American letters in the 1850s".<ref name="whenmoviesmattered"/>
Filmmaker Quentin Tarantino identified in his 2022 book Cinema Speculation that:<ref name="onemoviekilledthe80s"/>
"regular moviegoers were becoming weary of modern American movies. The darkness, the drug use, the embrace of sensation-the violence, the sex, and the sexual violence. But even more than that, they became weary of the anti-everything cynicism... Was everything a bummer? Was everything a drag? Was every movie about some guy with problems?"
In 1980, film historian/scholar Robert P. Kolker examined New Hollywood film directors in his book A Cinema of Loneliness: Penn, Kubrick, Coppola, Scorsese, Altman, and how their films influenced American society of the 1960s and 1970s.<ref>Template:Cite journal</ref> Kolker observed that "for all the challenge and adventure, their films speak to a continual impotence in the world, an inability to change and to create change."<ref>Template:Cite book</ref>
John Belton points to the changing demographic to even younger, more conservative audiences in the mid 1970s (50% aged 12–20) and the move to less politically subversive themes in mainstream cinema,<ref>Template:Harvp</ref> as did Thomas Schatz, who saw the mid- to late 1970s as the decline of the art cinema movement as a significant industry force with its peak in 1974–75 with Nashville and Chinatown.<ref>Template:Harvp</ref>
Geoff King sees the period as an interim movement in American cinema where a conjunction of forces led to a measure of freedom in filmmaking yet also pointed out that scholarships about the era tend to center on two versions: the auteur-driven indie and blockbuster eras.<ref>Template:Harvp</ref><ref>Mainstream Maverick: John Hughes and New Hollywood Cinema – Google Books (pg.8)</ref> Todd Berliner says that 70s cinema resists the efficiency and harmony that normally characterize classical Hollywood cinema and tests the limits of Hollywood's classical model.<ref>Template:Harvp</ref>
According to author and film critic Charles Taylor (Opening Wednesday at a Theater or Drive-In Near You), he stated that "the 1970s remain the third — and, to date, last — great period in American movies".<ref name="npr.org">Template:Cite web</ref> Author and film critic David Thomson also shared similar sentiments to the point of dubbing the era "the decade when movies mattered".<ref name="whenmoviesmattered"/>
Video essayist Leigh Singer wrote that this celebrated period revered the epic dramas and serious state-of-the-nation addresses "made by homebred auteurs" (The Last Picture Show, The Godfather, Chinatown, Nashville, Network and Taxi Driver) over less respectable genre pictures.<ref name="onceuponapairofwheels"/>
Author A.D. Jameson (I Find Your Lack of Faith Disturbing), on the other hand, claimed that Star Wars was New Hollywood's finest achievement that actually embodied the characteristics of the respected "serious, sophisticated adult films" while questioning the often-told critical narrative of said "last great decade of American cinema".<ref name="starwarskillamericancinema">Template:Cite web</ref><ref>Template:Cite news</ref>
Author Julie A. Turnock, in her book Plastic Reality, stated that one common explanation as to why both Star Wars and Close Encounters succeeded was that each film offered hopeful optimism for troubling times as opposed to the "doom and gloom" cinema of the era that audiences were getting tired of with emphasis on mistrust in authority, pessimistic and fatalistic views of the future and anti-heroic aimlessness.<ref>Plastic Reality: Special Effects, Technology, and the Emergence of 1970s Blockbuster Aesthetics - Google Books (pg.194)</ref>
Nathan Rabin, writing for an article commemorating the movie's 40th anniversary at Boston.com in 2015, contested that Jaws, despite being labeled by conventional wisdom as the film that killed the quirky New Hollywood, didn't feel like one by today's vantage point.<ref>Remembering ‘Jaws,’ the 1970s movie that helped kill the 1970s movie – Boston.com</ref>
Austrian Film Museum, which held a 2013 program entitled The Real Eighties featuring some New Hollywood titles like The King of Comedy, Blow Out and American Gigolo, stated that:<ref name="real80s">The Real Eighties: American Cinema 1980-89 – Filmmuseum – Program SD</ref>
All ills spring from the 1980s. A transitional decade that witnessed the film industry’s restructuring along the lines of President Reagan’s neoliberal agenda, the eighties did away with the last remnants of New Hollywood while laying the foundations for today’s High Concept wasteland – thus goes an all too familiar tale of decline. The retrospective The Real Eighties questions this commonplace of film history and sides with the mainstream of Hollywood cinema: filmic realisms of the 1980s – in immediate proximity to the dream factories of Steven Spielberg or George Lucas, yet at odds with the decade’s political and aesthetic imperatives – await rediscovery.
Daniel Joyaux, writing for Roger Ebert.com on the Criterion Collection's 2024 release of the 1983 Tom Cruise classic Risky Business, shared similar concerns:<ref name="daringfilmsof80s"/>
There’s a long-held belief about Hollywood history that, from basically the moment “Heaven’s Gate” nearly bankrupted United Artists in 1980 to the moment “Sex, Lies, and Videotape” kicked off the indie boom of the ‘90s, studio executives had an almost pathological aversion to any movie with artistic ambition. There’s at least some truth to this, and seminal texts like Peter Biskind’s 1998 book Easy Riders, Raging Bulls have cooked those kernels of truth into a full-blown mythologizing of ‘70s and ‘90s Hollywood, while the ‘80s remain largely dismissed as a creative wasteland.
Steven Hyden, writing for Grantland, called the Movie Brats the "cinematic version" of classic rock, to the point of roll calling Spielberg as the Beatles, Scorsese as the Velvet Underground, Coppola as Bob Dylan, Lucas as Pink Floyd, Robert Altman as Neil Young, Brian De Palma as Led Zeppelin, Bogdanovich as the Beach Boys and Hal Ashby as the Kinks.<ref name="oldnewhollywood"/>

Criticism
Los Angeles Times article film critic Manohla Dargis described New Hollywood as the "halcyon age" of 1970s filmmaking, that "was less revolution than business as usual, with rebel hype".<ref name="LATimes">Template:Cite news</ref> She also pointed out in her New York Times article that the era's enthusiasts insist this was "when American movies grew up (or at least starred underdressed actresses); when directors did what they wanted (or at least were transformed into brands); when creativity ruled (or at least ran gloriously amok, albeit often on the studio's dime)."<ref name="nytimes.com">Template:Cite news</ref>
Molly Haskell, in her book From Reverence to Rape: The Treatment of Women in the Movies, described how this era of cinema "with its successive revelations, progressed like a stripper, though awkwardly—like a novice in a hurry to get off the stage".<ref>Star Bodies and the Erotics of Suffering – Google Books (pg.273)</ref>
This era was also infamous for its excessive decadence and on-set mishaps (as was the case for Apocalypse Now when the tumultuous production was documented by Eleanor Coppola which in turn became her 1991 documentary Hearts of Darkness: A Filmmaker's Apocalypse).Template:Refn Incidents plaguing the behind-the-scenes of some of the horror films from this era (such as Rosemary's Baby, The Exorcist, Twilight Zone: The Movie, Poltergeist and The Omen) were also the subjects for the docuseries Cursed Films.Template:Refn Even Spielberg, who co-directed/co-produced Twilight Zone with John Landis, was so disgusted by the latter's handling of a deadly helicopter accident that resulted in the death of three actors, that he ended their friendship and publicly called for the end of New Hollywood.<ref name="greatmonthfortwilightzonefans"/> (De Palma and Friedkin shared similar sentiments about the crash.<ref>Death of the Set of the Twilight Zone Movie – Los Angeles Times on YouTube</ref>) When approached by the press about the accident, he stated:<ref name="gulfnews.com">Template:Cite web</ref>
"No movie is worth dying for. I think people are standing up much more now, than ever before, to producers and directors who ask too much. If something isn't safe, it's the right and responsibility of every actor or crew member to yell, 'Cut!'
Turner Classic Movies personality John Malahy, in his book Rewinding the '80s,<ref>Rewinding The '80s: Cinema Under the Influence of Music Videos, Action Stars, and a Cold War – Google Books</ref> noted that a growing problem with this era was the director's ego spending millions on elaborate cinematic dreams that almost no one shared (e.g. Cimino's Heaven's Gate).<ref>Time to Rewind the '80s? – Shepherd Express</ref>
The Golden Raspberry Awards (better known as The Razzies) emerged during the twilight of this era dishonoring productions such as Freidkin's Cruising and Cimino's Heaven's Gate alongside two megamusicals responsible for setting up the awards Xanadu and Can't Stop the Music (the latter would eventually be crowned the first recipient of Golden Raspberry Award for Worst Picture).<ref>Trash and Treasure at the Razzies|Current|The Criterion Collection</ref><ref>‘Xanadu’ Was So Bad It Launched the Razzies in 1980 – The Hollywood Reporter</ref>

American Eccentric Cinema has been noted as influenced by this era.<ref name="AE"/> Both traditions have similar themes and narratives of existentialism and the need for human interaction.<ref name="AE"/> New Hollywood focuses on the darker elements of humanity and society within the context of the American Dream in the mid-1960s to the early 1980s,<ref name="AE"/> with themes that were reflective of sociocultural issues and were centered around the potential meaninglessness of pursuing the American Dream as generation upon generation was motivated to possess it.<ref name="AE"/> In comparison, American Eccentric Cinema does not have a distinct context, its films show characters who are very individual and their concerns are very distinctive to their own personalities.<ref name="AE">Template:Cite book</ref>
The New American Cinema has also been ripe for parody as in Peter Jackson's 1989 Muppet satire Meet the Feebles (spoofing the Russian Roulette scene from The Deer Hunter);<ref>Peter Jackson's Savage 'Meet the Feebles' Invented the Offensive Puppet Shocker - Bloody Disgusting</ref> Ernie Fosselius's spoofs Hardware Wars (1978)<ref>Template:Citation</ref> and Porklips Now (1980);<ref>Template:Cite book</ref> Jim Reardon's cult 1986 animated student film Bring Me the Head of Charlie Brown, spoofing Taxi Driver, The Wild Bunch, and Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia;<ref>Bring Me the Head of Charlie Brown (audio commentary) (Art & Trash miniature 21) - Art & Trash on Vimeo</ref> and Canadian video artist Todd Graham's 1987 cult fan film Apocalypse Pooh, a bizarrely comedic mash-up of Disney's Winnie the Pooh and Coppola's Apocalypse Now.<ref>The Accidental Father of Mashup Culture: Jim Knipfel on Todd Graham and Apocalypse Pooh - Believer Magazine</ref><ref>Apocalypse Pooh & 7 Other All-Time Great Fan-Made Movie Mashups - Screen Rant</ref><ref>Todd Graham's Apocalypse Pooh in CBC Toronto 1991 Entertainment News Segment - Todd Graham on YouTube</ref>

Rossella Forte (Rossella Falk), who was Lylah’s lover—along with many other men and women—is a pathetic attempt to open a discussion about the sexual complexities of Hollywood. If Rossella’s orientation is treated more directly than was previously permitted, the film is suffused by the homophobia of Old Hollywood. Rossella is not much more than a creepy threat to Elsa, for whom she becomes as hot as she was for Lylah, especially after Zarken bleaches the young actress’s hair Lylah’s shade of platinum, styles it as Lylah wore it, and dresses her in Lylah’s old gowns.")</ref>
