Beskrivning

Over half a century on, the 1960s continue to generate strong intellectual and emotional responses – both positive and negative – and this is no less true in the arena of film. Making substantial use of new and underexplored archive resources that provide a wealth of information and insight on the period in question, this book offers a fresh perspective on the major resurgence of creativity and international appeal experienced by British cinema in that dramatic decade. Transformation and Tradition in 1960s British Cinema is the first scholarly volume on this period of British cinema for more than twenty-five years. It provides a major reconsideration of the period by focusing on the central tensions and contradiction between novelty/revolution and continuity/tradition during what remains a highly contentious period of cultural production and consumption.

Recensioner i media

Scholarly and authoritative, yet lucid and intelligible, this is a timely new assessment of British cinema's most vibrant decade. The authors' collective approach provides valuable insights which demonstrate there was much more to 60s film culture than the Beatles and Bond.　Undoubtedly one of the most important contributions to British cinema history of recent times.
