Contemporary British Cinema

This volume offers a detailed and comprehensive analysis of British film culture from 1997 to the present. Using a wide range of films from the Blair era and beyond as case studies--from from "Notting Hill" (1999) and "Billy Elliot "(2000) to "28 Days Later" (2002) and "The Queen" (2006)--it examines the ways in which recent British filmmaking might be regarded as distinctive, relevant and successful.
