About the Book

This critical exploration of the films of Michael Mann examines his recurring focus on the nature of modern communication and information, and their effect on the individual and society. Mann's films highlight the struggle to maintain a connection to reality in a world where information and truth are commodities manipulated and abused by forces that exert increasing control over their content and dissemination. Each chapter examines one of Mann's films - including Manhunter, The Keep, Last of the Mohicans, The Insider and Ali - in which the protagonist longs for a sense of human connection but is pitted against forces that devalue and destroy individuality. Photographs illustrate specific moments from the films, and notes, a bibliography and an index are included.

Review :
"Psychologically potent... clear and consistent... This piece of literature is highly complex and will challenge not only your understanding of words and vocabulary, but the concepts behind this writer's interpretation of the films of Michael Mann... I thoroughly enjoyed Blood in the Moonlight and believe that I'm better off from reading it."-Manta Ray Pictures
