This is an exploration of the representation of Ireland and the
Irish in British and US cinemas, as well as Irish made films. The
book offers readings of a wide range of key films such as "The
Butcher Boy" (1998), "Patriot Games" (1993) and "Angela's Ashes"
(2000). It discusses the range of Irish cinematic productions from
the low budget to the bigger Hollywood productions and looks at the
"second" cinema of directors such as Neil Jordan and Jim Sheridan
where medium-sized budgets allow for creative control in Ireland.
With debates about national and cultural identity, post-national
cinema and the role of the state, the book provides an overview of
how a small film culture such as Ireland's can live successfully in
the shadow of Hollywood.
