Reel Britannia
What is British cinema? Cinema made in Britain, that takes place in Britain, produced by British companies or rooted in British culture? Celebrated British filmmakers ponder this question, launching the impressive new Brit Box series Reel Britannia – an informative, rich four-part series on five decades of British cinema starting with the Swinging 60s. Comedian Nick Helm narrates (from writer/director Jon Spira’s script), guiding us through commentaries from filmmakers, Stephen Frears, Ken Loach, Richard Attenborough, Terence Davies, Mike Leigh, etc with wonderful humor and acerbic quips. Set against societal shifts, we are treated to film clips capturing those faces we have known and loved over the years and who have made British cinema shine. Cinephiles are in for a treat!
