An examination of British film production in the late nineteen eighties, this text explores issues of film technology, finance and aesthetics. It attempts to identify the cultural and material context within which the creative process of film-making occurs. It also considers the rather neglected contributions of collaborators in the production process. The text is illustrated by numerous quotes drawn from interviews with leading directors, producers, executives and technicians currently active in British cinema. Other titles in this series include "The Double in 19th Century Fiction", "Property and Power in a City", "Tragicomedy and Contemporary in Habermas and Post-Modernism".
