Synopsis

James Sanders explores New York City as both a tangible metropolis and a powerful cinematic myth. This book reveals how over a century of films, from classics like King Kong to Taxi Driver, have shaped an imagined Gotham that feels as real as its stone-and-steel counterpart. Discover how the dream city of the movies reflects, transforms, and informs the actual New York, from its iconic avenues to its hidden corners.
