Acclaimed British director Michael Winterbottom is renowned for the
abundance and diversity of his output. His films span a wide range
of genres in art house and mainstream cinema alike, from the
heritage film to neo-noir. Working with different genres gives
Winterbottom a framework in 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. In The Cinema of Michael Winterbottom, Deborah Allison
investigates Winterbottom's contributions to contemporary cinema,
using ideas of genre as a critical tool. Focusing on eight films,
Allison examines the ways he adopts, inflects, and challenges the
main attributes of the films' associated genres, enriching a highly
personal and idiosyncratic style of filmmaking. The potency and
integrity of his authorship unites films as generically diverse as
the road movie Butterfly Kiss, western drama The Claim, sci-fi
romance Code 46, and docudrama The Road to Guantanamo.
