Brash and footloose, the 80s leave their own mark on cinema – and on the Globes. The 70s rebels – Spielberg, Lucas, Coppola – mature and reach their creative peak. New names borrowed from the indie scene, Spike Lee, Steven Soderbergh to name but a couple, make their Hollywood debuts. As Jean-Paul Chaillet and Juliette Michaud explain in their time-traveling travelogue, “The cinema of the 80s is incredibly fun, cocky and creative, exploring all sorts of themes, offering all sorts of rides.” No argument there, the titles tell the story: Amadeus, Born on the Fourth of July, Out of Africa, Rain Man, Romancing the Stone, Working Girl, The Silence of the Lambs, Driving Miss DaisyThe Last Emperor, Indochine, My Life as a Dog, CinemaParadiso and many others. The Globes have also grown up. They make the Beverly Hilton their permanent home and their influence grows.
