Nicholas Macdonald
Nicholas Gardiner Macdonald (born October 22, 1944) is an American author and filmmaker (as Nick Macdonald) who made several independent films during the 1970s, including ''Break Out!'' (1971) and ''The Liberal War'' (1974). His book ''In Search of «La Grande Illusion»: a Critical Appreciation of Jean Renoir's Elusive Masterpiece'' was published in November 2013. Macdonald's anti-Vietnam War film, ''The Liberal War,'' is set in a utopian, anarchist future, looking back critically on the John F. Kennedy administration's prosecution of the war in Vietnam. Contrary to the belief held by many that JFK intended to decrease American military involvement in Southeast Asia at the time of his assassination, ''The Liberal War'' argues that he had every intention of continuing his expansion of the conflict in Vietnam. ''The Liberal War'' was acquired for the Study Collection of the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in 1976. His films have been shown in New York City at Film Forum, Museum of Mod ...
