About the Book

Thesis (M.A.) from the year 2002 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Culture and Applied Geography, grade: 1.3, University of Potsdam (Anglistik/Amerikanistik), course: English Cultural an Media Studies, language: English, abstract: The 1990s was a very productive decade for the British film industry.

Critics generally refer to Loach as a realist or naturalist filmmaker, terms which Loach himself would rather substitute with "authentic", which to him seems a less loaded word than "naturalistic" or "realistic". So what is he? A realist, a naturalist or should one create a new term, as has been suggested and call his filmmaking "Loachian" to do justice to his unique style? Could one define such a thing as "Loachism", rather than "realism" and "naturalism"? Loach's style can be regarded as a continuum within realist traditions of filmmaking. From the early beginnings of cinema, realism constituted an important part of the new medium. Critics and filmmakers alike engaged in discussions on the realist issue. Is cinema real? Does it show 'l
