Dishing the Dirt on Sundance, Miramax, and Indie Film

Saturday January 10, 2004
Peter Biskind's eagerly awaited book on the film industry in the 90s, "Down and Dirty Pictures: Miramax, Sundance, and the Rise of Independent Film" is finally in stores. As the subtitle suggests, this time around, the author of the eminently readable "Easy Riders, Raging Bulls" focuses on Miramax honcho Harvey Weinstein, Sundance Kid Robert Redford, and the tales behind the films that defined the decade. IndieWire has more, and Frank Rich offers his own take in today's New York Times.
