The most internationally renowned of Irish film directors, Neil
Jordan's diverse work has spanned gothic horror ( "The Company of
Wolves," 1984, and "Interview With the Vampire," 1994), Irish
history ( "Michael Collins," 1996), literary adaptation ( "The End
of the Affair," 1999) and sexual identity ( "The Crying Game,"
1992, and "Breakfast on Pluto," 2005), while retaining a
distinctive stylistic flair for fantasy and the carnivalesque. "The
Cinema of Neil Jordan" discusses his entire output as part of the
first comprehensive study of Jordan's career, looking beyond
ideological and national concerns to view his films through the
prism of Celtic folklore, fairy tales, the gothic, romanticism and
postmodernism. Incorporating discussion of Jordan's award-winning
literary work and benefiting from extensive access to Jordan's
personal archives, this book explains the mythic and poetic
impulses that suffuse the director's work.
