Americana

About “Americana”

A young television executive in the 1960s travels across the country with a movie camera, aiming to document his own past through a "cinema verite" approach. His film serves as a personal reflection on the power of film, the pressures of corporate life, the challenges of young marriage, and the culture of New York City. He also explores the concept of hipness and its role in modern society. The work is a 1971 novel by Don DeLillo.
