Red Hollywood
A film by Thom Andersen and Noel Burch
| Billy Wilder once famously quipped: “Of the ten, two had talent, and the rest were just unfriendly.” The Hollywood Ten were martyrs, went the thinking in tinsel town, but their work was largely inconsequential. In this revelatory film essay, Andersen and Burch reveal the progressive ideas present in films made by victims of the Hollywood Blacklist; and illustrate how, unlike most other motion pictures of the time, these films tackled issues such as war, race relations, class solidarity, women’s labor and the studio system itself. Directed by Thom Andersen (director of Los Angeles Plays Itself) and Noel Burch (The Forgotten Space, now streaming on OVID). |
