Seventies British Cinema
Autor Robert Shailen Limba Engleză Paperback – 16 dec 2008
The contributors to this new collection argue that 1970s cinema is ripe for reappraisal: giving serious critical attention to populist genre films, they also consider the development of a British art cinema in the work of Derek Jarman and Peter Greenaway, and the beginnings of an independent sector fostered by the BFI Production Board and producers like Don Boyd. A host of highly individual directors managed to produce interesting and cinematically innovative work against the odds, from Nicolas Roeg to Ken Russell to Mike Hodges. As well as providing a historical and cinematic context for understanding Seventies cinema, the volume also features chapters addressing Hammer horror, the Carry On films, Bond films of the Roger Moore period, Jubileeand other films that responded to Punk rock; heritage cinema and case studies of key seventies films such asThe Wicker ManandStraw Dogs. In all, the book provides the final missing piece in the rediscovery of British cinema's complex and protean history.

Seventies
British
Cinemaprovides
a
comprehensive
re-evaluation
of
British
film
in
the
1970s.
The
decade
has
long
been
written
off
in
critical
discussions
as
a
'doldrums'
period
in
British
cinema,
perhaps
because
the
industry,
facing
near
economic
collapse,
turned
to
'unacceptable'
low
culture
genres
such
as
sexploitation
comedies
or
extreme
horror.
