Abstract:
Icon. Celebrity. Artist. Madman. Genius. Who is Nicholas Cage, and why has his career endured for more than a hundred films over forty years? Phipps examines the films, and the man himself, to examine Cage's journey from 1980s comedies to the blockbusters of the 1990s, through the wild video-on-demand world of today. The result is a profile and an appreciation of a fiercely passionate artist. -- adapted from jacket
