Abstract
ABSTRACTThis article explores the circumstances under which The American Dreamer (1971) was filmed in Taos, New Mexico over eighteen days of the sixteen-month period during which Dennis Hopper was editing The Last Movie (1971), his follow-up film to Easy Rider (1969). The article links the self-reflexive aspects of The American Dreamer to other forms of documentary film-making current at the time, and links the film to the concept of a New Hollywood and the emergence of a ‘college-educated/youth audience’. It also relates the film to recent ‘Dennis Hopper and the New Hollywood’ exhibitions, and to Hopper's work as a photographer.
