""""This thoughtful and thought-provoking study of contemporary British film situates its case studies firmly within their social, political, historical and cultural contexts, reading them collectively as expressive of a fractured national psyche. Whether mobilising the past or exploring the present, dealing with conflict or community, the films discussed in this book, ranging from wartime biopics to costume drama, art cinema to social realism, are compellingly presented as an especially incisive way of accessing and understanding the state of the nation."" -Melanie Williams, University of East Anglia
