Marketplace
From The Art and Popular Culture Encyclopedia
(Redirected from Market place)
"From the onset, the counterculture was a powerful force in the marketplace. Beginning with independent rock documentaries (Don't Look Back, You Are What You Eat, Monterey Pop), post-Blow Up evocations of "swinging" London, and appropriately, as we will see-American International drive-in flicks (The Trip, Wild in the Streets, Psych-Out), youth oriented films flooded the market."--Midnight Movies (1983) by Hoberman and Rosenbaum |
