It took Michael Mann (b. 1943), today a major figure in contemporary American cinema, many years to establish himself: his experience as a flamboyant television producer in the 1980s – notably on the series Miami Vice – overshadowed his early work as a filmmaker. In 1991 Mann exploded into the mainstream with the success of The Last of the Mohicans. Since then his work has focused on the crime movie, with Heat in 1995, Collateral in 2004 and Public Enemies in 2009.

Michael Mann (born 1943) is one of the most interesting directors of our time, whose work lies at the intersection of the mainstream cinema and the avant-garde, of public entertainment and private obsession. Throughout his career, Mann has moved freely between television and cinema: he produced 'Miami Vice' and 'Crime Story' - two of the most successful TV series of the 1980's - in addition to directing the historical epic 'The Last of the Mohican's (1992), the biopic 'Ali'(2001), and more recently the crime thriller 'Collateral (2004) and the gangster drama 'Public Enemies' (2009). Although varied in genre, Mann's films often share the same preoccupations and style: the depiction of solitary men in conflict with the society in which they live.

Few other contemporary Hollywood filmmakers fit the category of 'genre stylist' as well as Michael Mann, the director of such films as Heat, The Insider, Ali, Collateral, Manhunter, Thief, and Miami Vice. Mann's film style marks him as a director who chooses the iconographic backdrop of a genre as a canvas upon which he and his collaborators can craft a unique cinematic vision. The Cinema of Michael Mann traces the innovative and under-explored stylistic contours of Mann's work, the director's inflection upon and innovation within preexisting genre frameworks, and the relationship of both style and genre to issues of authorship and film criticism. Steven Rybin's critical study of Mann's cinema, and the importance of the filmmaker's themes to our contemporary world, is valuable for both film scholars and cinephiles alike.

Michael Mann is one of the most important American filmmakers of the past forty years. His films exhibit the existential concerns of art cinema, articulated through a conspicuous and recognizable visual style and yet integrated within classical Hollywood narrative and genre frameworks. Since his beginnings as a screenwriter in the 1970s, Mann has become a key figure within contemporary American popular culture as writer, director, and producer for film and television. This volume offers a detailed study of Mann's feature films, from The Jericho Mile (1979) to Public Enemies (2009), with consideration also being given to parallels in the production, style, and characterization in his television work. It explores Mann's relationship with classical genres, his thematic concentration on issues of morality and masculinity, his film adaptations from literature, and the development and significance of his trademark visual style within modern American cinema.

Director and screenwriter Michael Mann is the creative force behind such movies as Last of the Mohicans and Ali. Markedly reticent, Mann prefers that his personal background remain an enigma, but his disparate films contain clear and consistent messages. One of Mann's focuses is on the Information Age. He addresses the nature of modern communication, its use to manipulate and coerce, and the resultant subjugation of truth. The perils inherent in modern technology and communication stand in stark contrast to the power of symbolic and oral exchange, the trusted medium of Mann's protagonists. 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 is a commodity manipulated and abused by forces that exert increasing control over its 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. A bibliography and an index are included.
