In this new installment of Auteur's series on Studying British Cinema (volumes on the 1960s, 1990s and the aughts now available), Freddie Gaffney recounts a decade that prompted a renaissance in British filmmaking. He selects a range of films that underscore the social, political, historical, and industrial developments of the period. Beginning with an overview that captures the state of British cinema at the turn of the decade through several engaging cultural critiques, Freddie Gaffney explains why the 1980s marked a significant turning point in the evolution of British cinema and follows with a succession of case studies emblematic of the topics he confronts: Margaret Thatcher's Britain ( The Long Good Friday (1980)), the "troubles" of Northern Ireland (Neil Jordan's Angel (1982)), comedies ( Withnail and I (1986)), the "heritage" film ( Chariots of Fire (1981)), parochial features ( Gregory's Girl (1981)), epics ( The Mission (1986)), and the effects of various genres on the indigenous film industry.

In recent years, the role and identity of British cinema has been changing, and it is these changes with which British Cinema in the 1980s is concerned. It looks at the increasing domination of the world film industry by Hollywood and the response of British filmmaking to this, the role of government, and the increasingly close relationship between film and television. It also examines the kinds of images British cinema produced in this period and how they relate to a shifting sense of `British' identity. The book not only looks at the appeal of images of the past in the heritage film (such as Howards End) and `films of Empire' (such as A Passage to India) but also discusses the more questioning images of the present by the `state of the nation' film such as Letter to Brezhnev and My Beautiful Laundrette. In doing so, it explores how these films deal with issues of class, gender and ethnicity and how these in turn connect to our understanding of the `Britishness' of British cinema. British Cinema in the 1980s will become the definitive study of an important period of British filmmaking. Bringing together a discussion of British society, the British film industry and British films, John Hill provides an accessible analysis of the main themes and issues characterizing British cinema of the time.

Falling between the creatively explosive "Swinging Sixties" and the partial commercial film rebirth of the 1980s, the 1970s is an overlooked decade in British cinema history. Using film as a tool and conducting a cultural/sociological analysis, Danny Powell casts the 1970s as an age of political extremism and conflict and as a struggle between authority and the disenfranchised at a time of economic strife, producing volatile reactions in a country faced with "no future." An era of experimental film that often avoids the obvious in terms of presentation, theme, narrative, and neat endings, the 1970s reflected an intrinsic link between domestic British cinema and cultural uncertainty. Powell discusses in detail Performance (1968), Straw Dogs (1971), A Clockwork Orange (1971), Get Carter (1971), The Wicker Man (1973), Tommy (1975), The Man Who Fell to Earth (1976), and Jubilee (1978).

A stimulating overview of the intellectual arguments and critical debates involved in the study of British and Irish cinemas British and Irish film studies have expanded in scope and depth in recent years, prompting a growing number of critical debates on how these cinemas are analysed, contextualized, and understood. A Companion to British and Irish Cinema addresses arguments surrounding film historiography, methods of textual analysis, critical judgments, and the social and economic contexts that are central to the study of these cinemas. Twenty-nine essays from many of the most prominent writers in the field examine how British and Irish cinema have been discussed, the concepts and methods used to interpret and understand British and Irish films, and the defining issues and debates at the heart of British and Irish cinema studies. Offering a broad scope of commentary, the Companion explores historical, cultural and aesthetic questions that encompass over a century of British and Irish film studies—from the early years of the silent era to the present-day. Divided into five sections, the Companion discusses the social and cultural forces shaping British and Irish cinema during different periods, the contexts in which films are produced, distributed and exhibited, the genres and styles that have been adopted by British and Irish films, issues of representation and identity, and debates on concepts of national cinema at a time when ideas of what constitutes both ‘British’ and ‘Irish’ cinema are under question. A Companion to British and Irish Cinema is a valuable and timely resource for undergraduate and postgraduate students of film, media, and cultural studies, and for those seeking contemporary commentary on the cinemas of Britain and Ireland.

Danny Powell examines differing representations of time and place making sense of the complexities of a changing nation, highlighting cinematic changes in style and outlook that were crucial in communicating, evaluating and constructing British identity in this famous decade, exporting a unified image to the rest of the world, and how this period continues to define Britain today." --Book Jacket.
