The 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.
