Description
By examining ten contemporary directors the author of this book aims to show that there are a great diversity of British film makers. Their films cover the spectrum from the "art house" to "Hollywood". The introduction sets out the constraints which they all face. Each chapter on the directors explores the individual paths they have chosen. It comprises an essay, interview and extensive reference sections. The essay examines their aims and preoccupations, and views their work in this light. The interviews pursue these themes while revealing the personalities of the directors. The work is intended for anyone interested in contemporary British cinema.
