About this item
Hardback 2004. Marking the fortieth anniversary of Ken Loach's first work on screen: this is the first detailed portrait of the world's leading social-realist filmmaker and Britain's most successful director working today. This book and dustjacket are in good condition. The dustjacket is slightly faded.
Making groundbreaking dramas for the BBC's 'Wednesday Play' series in the 1960s, Ken Loach was one of the first to show life as it was really lived by many people. With the film KES, the director established an international reputation. After falling on hard times in the 1980s, he then made a feature-film revival that was little short of remarkable, with masterpieces such as LAND AND FREEDOM, CARLA'S SONG, MY NAME IS JOE and most recently SWEET SIXTEEN. Anthony Hayward's book reveals the influence on Loach of a father who was fanatical about education, the socialist politics that drive his work, and the long-running collaborations with writers and producers such as Jim Allen, Barry Hines, Tony Garnett and Rebecca O'Brien.
