Laszlo Kovacs and Vilmos Zsigmond escaped from Hungary in 1956 and immigrated to the United States to toil in the underbelly of Hollywood. Suddenly, after ten years, Laszlo{u2019}s camera broke the rules of cinema with *Easy Rider* and Vilmos poured 2poetic realism3 into *McCabe & Mrs. Miller*, ushering a new wave of American cinema. Combined with interviews from some of Hollywood's biggest names including: Sandra Bullock, Peter Fonda, Denis Hopper and more, you will see how two kids from Hungary reshaped Hollywood. Essential for film students and lovers of American New Wave Cinema.
