Endorsements
Written by one of the leading authorities on Irish cinema, Irish cinema in the twenty-first century is an important contribution to debates on the possibility of a national cinema in the age of globalization. Designed to be accessible to students and to provide guidance to lecturers in structuring a course on Irish cinema, Ruth Barton's book is divided by genre and theme. Chapters cover new areas in Irish film production such as the creative documentary, animation and the horror film, and revisit key themes including the representation of history, post-Troubles cinema and Northern Ireland, rural representations and the cinema of the city. Each chapter is preceded by the analysis of a short film. Barton's writing throughout is informed by theories of globalisation, the transnational, cultural trauma, and spatiality. One of her key concerns is over questions of gender representation, but equally how the new social structures of Ireland from the Celtic Tiger to today are treated in the films discussed. Irish cinema in the twenty-first century discusses the work of leading filmmakers - Lenny Abrahamson, John Crowley, Neil Jordan, the McDonagh brothers, and Jim Sheridan -as straddling both the local and the global industries, with a particular focus on certain films as exemplary case studies. This book will appeal to third-level students in film studies and Irish studies, academics, and those interested in how Irish cinema has developed in the twenty-first century.
