Items related to Take Ten: Contemporary British Film Directors
Synopsis
Mention "British cinema" and Hammer horror films or Ealing comedies are frequently all that come to mind. Although there has been no sustained film movement in Britain akin to the French New Wave or Italian Neo-Realism, there is a rich diversity of talent among contemporary British filmmakers that rarely receives the attention it deserves. This collection of essays and in-depth interviews examines the careers and aspirations of ten directors--Stephen Frears, Ken Loach, Lindsay Anderson, Bill Forsyth, Peter Greenaway, Derek Jarman, Nicolas Roeg, Richard Attenborough, Alan Parker, and John Schlesinger. The book looks at their different styles and techniques, their influences, their attitudes toward working with actors and raising money, and their relationships with their audiences. Take Ten offers revealing insights into the working methods and tastes of these important directors. It will be essential reading for all interested in British and contemporary film.
