Description
This latest issue of Splice considers the relationship between film and the depiction of historical figures and events. As usual, Splice approaches its theme from a variety of refreshing angles. Topics and films covered include the representation of 'camp' in such historical films as Marie Antoinette and 300; historical figures and myth-making in the likes of The King's Speech and The Iron Lady; the limitations of historical films, using the Tom Cruise vehicle Valkyrie as a case study; and the the impact of neo-liberalism on film since the 1980s.
