Book Description
Ireland's energetic film activity (The Crying Game, My Left Foot) has inevitably generated a considerable critical debate inside and outside the country about the kinds of films that are made and the representation of Ireland and the Irish they promote. This book explores the dominant images of the Irish found in the cinemas of the USA and Britain and considers the ways in which recent Irish-made films might be said to offer a response to them.
