Examining his films thematically, this book finds consistency of vision in Van Sant's unique approach to cinema, which deploys postmodernist techniques such as appropriation, nonlinear narrative, and queering--not in the service of the chic but to apply an all-inclusive viewpoint to ageless tales of life, love and death. Van Sant's films are viewed through a multi-genre prism, including the work of Bruce Weber and Derek Jarman, the westerns of Sam Peckinpah, the music of the Velvet Underground and Nirvana, the fiction of Sam D'Allesandro, and especially the \"cut-up\"\/collage practice of intertextual authorship pioneered by William Burroughs.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"hushpuppyUpsell_feature_div\" class=\"celwidget\" data-feature-name=\"hushpuppyUpsell\" data-csa-c-type=\"widget\" data-csa-c-content-id=\"hushpuppyUpsell\" data-csa-c-slot-id=\"hushpuppyUpsell_feature_div\" data-csa-c-asin=\"\" data-csa-c-is-in-initial-active-row=\"false\" data-csa-c-id=\"f92r53-a23aiu-bmygej-mkzsjq\" data-cel-widget=\"hushpuppyUpsell_feature_div\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"richProductInformation_feature_div\" class=\"celwidget\" data-feature-name=\"richProductInformation\" data-csa-c-type=\"widget\" data-csa-c-content-id=\"richProductInformation\" data-csa-c-slot-id=\"richProductInformation_feature_div\" data-csa-c-asin=\"\" data-csa-c-is-in-initial-active-row=\"false\" data-csa-c-id=\"wf3lrb-2h9jks-9zfjuo-ywpger\" data-cel-widget=\"richProductInformation_feature_div\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"rich_product_information\" class=\"a-section a-spacing-none celwidget\" data-csa-c-id=\"a1c4jv-u7jqfr-v63moe-3kvkyp\" data-cel-widget=\"rich_product_information\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"ICA Bookstore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57117979017600,"sku":null,"price":21.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0012\/4390\/6109\/files\/517J4_7h-7L.jpg?v=1767622725","url":"https:\/\/shop.ica.art\/products\/justin-vicari-the-gus-van-sant-touch","provider":"ICA Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
