British Cinema in the 1980s by John Hill
British Cinema in the 1980s is the definitive study of an important period of British filmmaking. Bringing together a discussion of British society, the British film industry, and British films, John Hill provides an accessible analysis of the main themes and issues characterizing British cinema of the time.
'John Hill's authoritative study is.. extremely welcome, and certain to establish itself rapidly as the standard version of British filmmaking in this decade. ... (It is distinguished by) a generally lucide prose style, informed by theory but not jargon-ridden; firm principles of organisation; the judicious weighing of evidence and competing views; and the ability to combine close analysis of selected films while relating them to broader patterns of political, social and cultural life.'
