{"product_id":"irish-film","title":"Irish Film","description":"This is an exploration of the representation of Ireland and the Irish in British and US cinemas, as well as Irish-made films. The book offers readings of a wide range of key films such as \u003ci\u003eThe Butcher Boy\u003c\/i\u003e (1997), \u003ci\u003ePatriot Games\u003c\/i\u003e (1992) and \u003ci\u003eAngela's Ashes\u003c\/i\u003e (1999). It discusses the full range of Irish cinematic productions from the low-budget work of Comerford and Breathnach, to the bigger Hollywood productions like Ron Howard's \u003ci\u003eFar and Away \u003c\/i\u003e(1992), and looks at the 'second' cinema of directors such as Neil Jordan and Jim Sheridan where medium-sized budgets allow for greater creative control in Ireland. Feeding into wider debates about national and cultural identity, post-national cinema and the role of the state, the book provides an overview of how a relatively small film culture such as Ireland's can live successfully in the shadow of Hollywood.","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing PLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56107972788568,"sku":"9780851707938","price":44.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780851707938.jpg?v=1769892320","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/irish-film","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
