Through detailed contextualised analysis of films by five
distinctive key contemporary directors Andrea Arnold, Clio Barnard,
Joanna Hogg, Duane Hopkins and Shane Meadows Dave Forrest makes a
highly persuasive and cogent case for their work constituting a new
model of realist filmmaking in 21st century British cinema which is
no less politically charged for its poetic and haptic qualities.
This insightful book is essential reading for anyone interested in
film realism or contemporary British cinema.'Melanie Williams
University of East AngliaThe tradition of British realism has
changed dramatically over the last 20 years, where films by
directors such as Duane Hopkins, Joanna Hogg, Andrea Arnold, Shane
Meadows and Clio Barnard have suggested a markedly poetic turn.
This new realism rejects the instrumentalism and didacticism of
filmmakers like Ken Loach in favour of lyrical and often ambiguous
encounters with place, where the physical processes of lived
experience interacts with the rhythms of everyday life. Taking
these 5 filmmakers as case studies, this book seeks to explore in
depth this new tradition of British cinema and in the process, it
reignites debates over realism that have concerned scholars for
decades.
