Acclaimed British director Michael Winterbottom is known for the
diversity of his prolific output of films. His films span a wide
range of genres in mainstream and art house cinema alike, from
western to science-fiction. Working within different genres gives
Winterbottom a framework within which to explore favored themes,
while incorporating new ideas and taking on new challenges. At the
same time, his manner of undermining familiar generic qualities and
frustrating audience expectations also refreshes the genres he
explores. The Cinema of Michael Winterbottom, by Deborah Allison,
explores Winterbottom's contributions to contemporary cinema by
using ideas of genre as a critical tool. This text focuses on eight
Winterbottom films, and examines how he adopts, inflects, and
challenges the main attributes of the films' associated genres,
creating a personal and idiosyncratic style of filmmaking. The
potency and integrity of his authorship unites films as generically
diverse as the road film (Butterfly Kiss), western drama (The
Claim), science fiction (Code 46), and the docudrama (The Road to
Guantanamo.)
