English cinema

By Ricardo Luiz De Souza

In English Cinema 1957-1968, Ricardo Luiz de Souza analyses the course of English cinema from 1957_the inaugural milestone of Free Cinema_ until the end of the 1960s, based on the study of various films made during this period. It was a period in which, as always, English cinema remained mostly tied to a reluctant academicism, but in which a whole process of renewal was carried out during and after Free Cinema. This movement remained conservative in terms of film language and had an infinitely smaller influence, practically nil, in world terms. Today, it is barely mentioned, while the Nouvelle Vague remains praised, discussed and recognised as a milestone. This oblivion, however, carries with it a good deal of injustice, since memorable films linked to the movement were made. And yet, in specific terms, it is impossible to understand the evolution of English cinema without taking Free Cinema into account. After all, although it had a fairly limited global reach, it changed the course of British cinema.
