Anyone who's interested in more indepth information on him and on why his career and creative powers fell apart so swiftly after "Picture Show" would be served by reading "Hollywood: A Third Memoir" by Larry McMurtry (author of "Picture Show")
His story is a reminder of how a director is not an island, and his arc has some rough similarities with George Lucas's.
- blast 5y agoHe made Paper Moon and What's Up Doc after that. Are they supposed to be before or after the swift decline?
- thelettere 5y agoSwift decline ≠ immediate decline. Paper Moon came out 2 years after Picture Show, after which most of what he made was unwatchable by near unanimous consent. If that's not a swift decline I don't know what is.
