Ben Wheatley
The first study of cult and genre British filmmaker Ben Wheatley.
High-Rise
Coming in March 2016 from acclaimed director Ben Wheatley, a major motion picture adaptation of J. G. Ballard’s compelling and unnerving tale of what happens when life in a luxury apartment building descends into chaos, starring Tom Hiddleston, Jeremy Irons, Sienna Miller, Luke Evans and Elisabeth Moss.
British Intelligence and Hitler's Empire in the Soviet Union, 1941-1945
This is the first detailed study of Britain's open source intelligence (OSINT) operations during the Second World War, showing how accurate and influential OSINT could be and ultimately how those who analysed this intelligence would shape British post-war policy towards the Soviet Union. Following the Nazi invasion of the Soviet Union in June 1941, the enemy and neutral press covering the German occupation of the Baltic states offered the British government a vital stream of OSINT covering the entire German East. OSINT was the only form of intelligence available to the British from the Nazi-occupied Soviet Union, due to the Foreign Office suspension of all covert intelligence gathering insid...
Prevenge
Prevenge (2016) is an entertainingly dark 21st-century horror movie detailing the serial killing journey of heavily pregnant Ruth. It’s a cleverly crafted narrative full of stark social commentary, traversing the delicate line between comedy and tragedy by fusing together a kitchen sink approach with a supernatural revenge plot. This book, as part of the Devil’s Advocates series, examines how the film deconstructs the slasher mythology and the sexism therein, and upends stereotypical representations of the ‘weak’ woman and ‘delicate’ mother. With new exclusive input from writer, director and star Alice Lowe, the text also looks at the production’s inception and development, assesses its debts to cult British cinema, and inspects its umbilical connections to Rosemary’s Baby, Alien, Village of the Damned and many other ‘Monstrous Child’ silver screen features.
FILM-KONZEPTE 69 - Ben Wheatley
Ben Wheatley gehört zu den wandelbarsten und eigenwilligsten Regisseuren des britischen Gegenwartskinos. In den letzten 15 Jahren hat Ben Wheatley – oft in enger Zusammenarbeit mit seiner Partnerin Amy Jump – neun nicht selten verstörende, aber gleichsam faszinierende Spielfilme gedreht. Einem größeren Publikum mag er mit seinem Remake des Hitchcock-Klassikers "Rebecca" (2020) für Netflix bekannt geworden sein, doch seine bedeutendsten Werke lassen sich dem gegenwärtig breit diskutierten Genre des Folk Horror zuordnen. Doch auch in diesen Filmen – unter anderem dem Genre-Klassiker "Kill List" (2011) sowie seinem jüngsten Werk "In the Earth" (2021) – unterwandert Wheatley die G...
New British Cinema from 'Submarine' to '12 Years a Slave'
Over the past year the success of British films at international film festivals - as well as the numerous awards bestowed on 12 Years a Slave - have demonstrated that British cinema has undergone a genuine renaissance that has caused new voices to emerge. At the same time, directors whose work has enthralled over the past five years have also continued to develop and expand their visions. The boundaries of British film-making are being redefined. Beginning with a preface exploring some of the factors that have led to this fertile environment, New British Cinema features in-depth interviews with the film-making voices at the vanguard of this new wave. Figures such as Clio Barnard, Richard Ayoade, Steve McQueen, Jonathan Glazer, Carol Morley, Yann Demange, Peter Strickland and Ben Wheatley provide a valuable insight into their work and working methods.
