-by Peter Biskind -

Darren Aronofsky says: "An incredibly delicious read—just a great, great
  account of that era from Easy Rider (’69) through the mid-’70s. It’s the
  story of all those great filmmakers—my icons—Scorsese, Coppola, Friedkin,
  and Bogdanovich. They changed the way movies were made in America."
