Neil Archer's original study makes a timely and politically-engaged intervention in debates about national cinema and national identity. Structured around key examples of 'culturally English cinema' in the years up to and following the UK's 2016 vote to leave the European Union, Cinema and Brexit looks to make sense of the peculiarities and paradoxes marking this era of filmmaking. At the same time as providing a contextual and analytical reading of 21st century filmmaking in Britain, Archer raises critical questions about popular national cinema, and how Brexit has cast both light and shadow over this body of films. Central to Archer's argument is the idea that Brexit represents not just a critical moment in how we will understand future film production, but also in how we will understand production of the recent past. Using as a point of departure the London Olympics opening ceremony of 2012, Cinema and Brexit considers the tensions inherent in a wide range of films, including Skyfall (2012), Dunkirk (2017), Their Finest (2017), Darkest Hour (2017), The Crown (Netflix, 2016), Paddington (2014), Paddington 2 (2017), Never Let Me Go (2011), Absolutely Fabulous: The Movie (2016), The Trip (2010), The Inbetweeners Movie (2011), Mr. Bean's Holiday (2007), The World's End (2013), Sightseers (2012), One Day (2011), Attack the Block (2011), King Arthur: Legend of the Sword (2017) and The Kid Who Would be King (2019). Archer examines the complex national narratives and representations these films expound, situating his analyses within the broader commercial contexts of film production beyond Hollywood, highlighting the negotiations or contradictions at play between the industrial imperatives of contemporary films and the varied circumstances in which they are made. Considering some of the ways a popular and globally-minded English cinema is finding means to work alongside and through the contexts of Brexit, he questions what are the stakes for, and possibilities of, a global 'culturally English cinema' in 2019 and beyond.

British Cinema and a Divided Nation' examines representations of the nation found within contemporary British cinema, against a backdrop of rising political tensions and deepening social divisions following the ?Brexit? referendum of June 2016. Exploring ways in which the contest of ideologies within media representations has played out post-2016, the book identifies divisions within society that have been given narrative shape and cultural form within recent British films. With case studies of major films such as Mary Queen of Scots, Peterloo, Darkest Hour, Sorry We Missed You and Downton Abbey, this book questions whether we are seeing the negotiation of a new relationship with the wider world, or simply a re-iteration of a long-standing British, or English, understanding of national identity.

The apparent shift in power relations between the developed and developing world, along with the increasing emphasis that national and transnational organisations place on the role of 'soft power' in global foreign policy, has profound implications for global film culture. Focusing primarily on the BRICS countries (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa), this innovative collection examines the diverse and often competing ways the group as a whole engages with film as a medium of artistic expression, and as a 'soft power' resource. The contributors explore the wider implications for world cinema of its members' differing and dynamic positions in the global media landscape, and the book includes a comparative analysis by examining the post-imperial soft power of the UK at the time of Brexit.

This volume explores the cultural significance of Brexit, situating it in debates about nation and identity. Contributors to this collection seek to contextualize Britain's decision to leave the EU and to assess its reverberations in language, literature, and culture. Addressing such aspects as British exceptionalism, myth-making, medievalism, and nostalgia, contributions range from travelogues, Ladybird books, and rural cinema-going to ageing. An important focus lies on marginalized groups and geographical fringes, as contributors attend to the Irish situation and the scarcity of EU migrants in Brexit literature (BrexLit). Finally, two essays widen the perspective to assess American parallels to the discourses about a Brexit that is still far from "done."

Nick Stone, ex combattente del SAS, corpo d’élite dell’esercito britannico, viene incaricato di salvare la figlia di una delle famiglie più ricche d’America, finita nelle grinfie di un misterioso culto. Nick si aspetta che la sua ultima missione sia rapida e diretta, ma non ha idea di quanto si sbaglia... L’obiettivo della missione è chiaro: per riportare a casa viva la ragazza, Nick dovrà uccidere il leader della setta. Ma più si addentrano nelle gelide profondità dell’Europa settentrionale, più Nick e la squadra sentono la tensione crescere. Il confine tra Norvegia e Russia, lì dove c’è la linea di demarcazione tra la Nato e le forze armate del Cremlino e gli eserciti sono sempre in allerta, è uno dei luoghi più sensibili al mondo... E le complicazioni travolgono i piani di Nick. La ragazza, infatti, è al centro di una imponente cospirazione informatica che rischia di sconvolgere gli equilibri internazionali. E anche il corpo di Nick, portato troppe volte allo stremo, lo costringerà a porsi una fatidica domanda…

Quel souffle traverse les formes contemporaines du récit épique ? De Gladiator à Megalopolis, en passant par 300, Noah ou The Odyssey, le néo-péplum réinvente les mythes antiques à l’ère des effets spéciaux, de la saturation médiatique et de l’intelligence artificielle. Cet essai propose une relecture transversale du genre, en s’appuyant sur une analyse esthétique, intermédiale et politique du souffle épique – cette force narrative et sensorielle qui anime les corps, les images, les récits et les empires. Au fil d’une traversée en archipel, l’ouvrage explore les reconfigurations successives du péplum depuis les années 2000 : ses métamorphoses numériques, ses hybridations avec le superhéroïsme, la science-fiction et la fantasy, sa plasticité idéologique à l’heure des crises globales. Il interroge l’émergence d’un hyperpéplum, capable de penser le monde post-historique à travers des figures neuves : architecte, prophète, survivante, hacker. Croisant études filmiques, narratologie et théorie critique, ce livre envisage le néo-péplum comme un véritable laboratoire de la modernité esthétique. Il éclaire comment le souffle, jadis principe vital stoïcien ou chant de l’aède, devient aujourd’hui une forme rythmique spéculative – un opérateur poétique pour penser l’effondrement, l’altérité, ou les futurs possibles. Un essai pour celles et ceux qui veulent comprendre comment le cinéma populaire dialogue avec les ruines, les révoltes, et les rêves.

At the opening ceremony for the London 2012 Olympics, a global audience of nearly one billion viewers were treated to the unprecedented sight of James Bond meeting Queen Elizabeth II. Shortly after, the 'Queen' hurled herself out of a helicopter, her Union Jack parachute guiding her down to the Olympic Stadium. What it is about moments such as these that define both a particular idea of Britishness and a particular type of British film comedy? How has British cinema exploited parody as a means of negotiating its sense of identity? How does this function within a globalized marketplace and in the face of dominant Hollywood cinema? Beyond a Joke explores the myriad ways British film culture has used forms of parody, from the 1960s to the present day. It provides a contextual and textual analysis of a range of works that, while popular, have only rarely been the subject of serious academic attention – from Morecambe and Wise to Shaun of the Dead to the London 2012 Olympics' opening ceremony. Combining the methodologies both of film history and film theory, Beyond a Joke locates parody within specific industrial and cultural moments, while also looking in detail at the aesthetics of parody as a mode. Ultimately, such works are shown to be a form of culturally specific film or televisual product for exporting to the global market, in which 'Britishness', shaped in self-mocking and ironic terms, becomes the selling point. Written in an accessible style and illustrated throughout with a diverse range of examples, Beyond a Joke is the first book to explore parody within a specifically British context and makes an invaluable contribution to the scholarship on both British and global film culture.

This in-depth study of one of the twenty-first century’s most acclaimed films, The Social Network: Youth Film 2.0 considers the contribution of David Fincher and Aaron Sorkin’s film to the understanding of ‘youth’ in a contemporary, digital age. The book starts by situating The Social Network within the contexts of ‘youth film’, arguing that it challenges and reshapes the boundaries of this genre by rethinking the notion of ‘youth’ itself in the present century. It goes on to consider in detail the aesthetics at work in the film, arguing for its critical and reflexive use of an ‘accelerated’ audio-visual style, in order to capture both the new visual regimes of the personal computer era, and the ethical and intellectual ambiguities of Facebook itself as a creation. Finally, it locates the film within the broader visual styles and fashion codes of a late twentieth- and early twenty-first-century consumer culture that incorporates and commodifies rebellion and dissent: qualities that underpinned Facebook’s emerging, paradoxical identity as at once the epitome of ‘hacker’ culture and also a multi-billion-dollar global company. Reframing the meaning of youth cinema, this volume in the Cinema and Youth Culture series is ideal for students, researchers and scholars of cinema studies, youth culture and digital cultures.
