N2  - Examines the influence of Romantic philosophy and practice on American independent filmPlaces Romantic art and philosophy in a fresh contextStudies four popular filmmakers: Wes Anderson, Sofia Coppola, Spike Jonze and Charlie KaufmanContributes to the emerging field of neo-romantic cinematic studyHighly interdisciplinary, this book will also be of interest to those researching Romanticism in other contexts, such as literature and visual artIn the first book-length study of Romanticism in relation to American film, Michelle Devereaux takes established theories of contemporary American independent cinema as a point of entry, exploring the underlying philosophical and aesthetic Romantic connections between a selection of seven films from four popular filmmakers: Wes Anderson, Sofia Coppola, Spike Jonze and Charlie Kaufman.Primarily dealing with questions of identity, imagination and the relation between self and world, these films also emphasise the anxieties of our own time: the nostalgia for an imaginary past, and the fear of an uncertain future
