Quite a lot of information about both Thornhill himself and his films. It's worth to take a second look for sure.
The introduction will give you a sense of what the book intends to do. One function is to place new Australian cinema in context. The book tries to evoke a more sensitive understanding of Australian cinema. It should be considered as product of arts and in a lesser extent as a product of an industry.
The book will also define the sources and parallels in American and British film. Most of the films that have been made in Australia between 1945 and 1970 were primarily American or British ones.
British films were held to be 'natural', 'realistic' and 'understated'. In the 1040s and 1950s there were several theatres in Melbourne among the Grosvenor that devoted themselves entirely to the screening of British films and during that period Australians have been considered a good audience for such films.(Gitta Witzel) |
