Alan Parker Was a Director Who Could Be Slick, Seductive…and an Artist
Owen Gleiberman Chief Film CriticIn the late 1970s, when Hollywood was in the middle of its most seismic transformation since the collapse of the studio system (namely, the creation of blockbuster fundamentalism), there was a much-talked-about trend that seemed to fit all too snugly into the new world order.
