Beschreibung
For years there has been consensus about the merits of Britain's 'cult films' - Peeping Tom, Witchfinder General, The Italian Job. - but what of The Mark, Unearthly Stranger, The Strange Affair. and The Squeeze. Revisionist critics wax lyrical over Get Carter. and The Wicker Man. , but what of Sitting Target, Quest for Love. and The Black Panther. OFFBEAT redresses this imbalance by exploring Britain's obscurities, curiosities and forgotten gems - from the buoyant leap in film production in the late fifties to the dying days of popular domestic cinema in the early eighties. Featuring essays, interviews and in-depth reviews, OFFBEAT provides an exhaustive, enlightening and entertaining guide through a host of neglected cinematic trends and episodes, including: - The last great British B-movies - 'Anti-swinging sixties' films - Sexploitation - from Yellow Teddy Bears to Emmanuelle in Soho - The British rock 'n roll movie - CIA-funded British cartoons - Asylums in British cinema - The Children's Film Foundation - The demise of the short as supporting feature - Val Guest, Sidney Hayers and the forgotten journeyman of British film - Swashbucklers, crime thrillers and other non-horror Hammers Now updated with more than 150 pages of new reviews and essays, featuring: - The Beatles in Colour. - The History of the AA Certificate - Ken Russell's 1980s Films - Iris Murdoch's A Severed Head - Curating Offbeat films in the Digital Age And much more
