Course overview
Course description
A friendly and accessible exploration of five classic British crime thrillers, promoting knowledge, understanding and appreciation not only on the big screen crime thriller, but also of cinema in general. The British crime thriller, something often regarded as ‘iconic’ – why? Five films which chart social change as well as how crime, justice and morality in a changing Britain are represented on screen. The crime thriller itself is a sub-genre which can be read of crossing through other genres, dipping into and out of fashion. Touches of Film Noir? Sometimes dangling on the edge of horror but are some of these films just mimicking bigger budget U.S cinema or does the British Crime thriller have something to say?
