Contemporary Irish Cinema (English, Hardcover, MacKillop James J)

Movies from and about Ireland have attracted huge audiences, capturing top international prizes ("The Crying Game") and an Academy Award ("My Left Foot"). In this text, contributors take a variety of approaches to the treatment of films and film makers. They probe cinema's rewriting of Irish history, from "Michael Collins" and ""In the Name of the Father"" to "Lost Beginnings".
