Pop music stars in many of the most exciting and successful British
films--from "Performance" to "Trainspotting," from "A Hard Day's
Night" to H"uman Traffic." Other films using pop music might be
more obscure but include many demonstrating a boldness and
imagination rarely matched in other areas of British cinema.
Pop artists (David Bowie, Cliff Richard, Spice Girls, Patsy Kensit,
Sex Pistols) could be said to be captured at their most iconic on
celluloid. And of course there are the rare but prized cameos from
a huge variety of other musicians and their songs in the most
unexpected of places. This book tells the story and records the
facts of the pop-film relationship decade by decade. It is the most
systematic guide to where and how pop appears in British
cinema.
"Pop in British Cinema" includes:
* Decade by decade commentary and systematic listings of films with
pop music
* Comprehensive referencing of all British feature films using
music from the 50s to the end of the century
* Illustrations and descriptions of the changing ways of using pop
in British film
* Listings of "band" movies and indexes to musicians, directors,
and film titles
For researchers and the curious alike this is an easy and
fascinating reference source. It represents both a first history of
pop music in British cinema and a mine of trivia questions for
music and film buffs of all descriptions.
