520 "Largely shut out of American theaters since the 1920s,
foreign films such as Open City, Bicycle Thief, Rashomon,
The Seventh Seal, Breathless, La Dolce Vita and
L'Avventura played after World War II in a growing number
of art houses around the country and created a small but
influential art film market devoted to the acquisition,
distribution, and exhibition of foreign-language and
English-language films produced abroad. Nurtured by
successive waves of imports from Italy, Great Britain,
France, Sweden, Japan, and the Soviet Bloc, the
renaissance was kick-started by independent distributors
working out of New York; by the 1960s, however, the market
had been subsumed by Hollywood. From Roberto Rossellini's
Open City in 1946 to Bernardo Bertolucci's Last Tango in
Paris in 1973, Tino Balio tracks the critical reception in
the press of such filmmakers as Franccois Truffaut, Jean-
Luc Godard, Federico Fellini, Michelangelo Antonioni, Tony
Richardson, Ingmar Bergman, Akira Kurosawa, Luis Bunuel,
Satyajit Ray, and Milos Forman. Their releases paled in
comparison to Hollywood fare at the box office, but their
impact on American film culture was enormous. The
reception accorded to art house cinema attacked motion
picture censorship, promoted the director as auteur, and
celebrated film as an international art. Championing the
cause was the new "cinephile" generation, which was mostly
made up of college students under thirty. The fashion for
foreign films depended in part on their frankness about
sex. When Hollywood abolished the Production Code in the
late 1960s, American-made films began to treat adult
themes with maturity and candor. In this new environment,
foreign films lost their cachet and the art film market
went into decline"--P. 4 of cover.
