The Hidden Cinema by Dr James C Robertson, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

How does film censorship work in Britain? Jim Robertson's new paperback edition ofThe Hidden Cinemaargues that censorship has had a far greater influence on British film history than is often apparent, creating the `hidden cinema' of the title. Robertson charts the role of the British Board of Film Censors, established in 1913, and the histories of a variety of noteworthy films includingBattleship PotemkinandNo Orchids for Miss Blandishand revealing how censorship continues to exert a marked influence on many important films - like the controversialA Clockwork Orange- some of which have now vanished from British screens altogether. This edition includes a brand new section on Bernardo Bertolucci'sLast Tango in Paris, immediately engulfed in censorship wrangles on its release in 1972. | The Hidden Cinema by Dr James C Robertson, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
