Description de l'ouvrage :
How does film censorship work in Britain? Jim Robertson's new paperback edition of The Hidden Cinema argues 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 including Battleship Potemkin and No Orchids for Miss Blandish and revealing how censorship continues to exert a marked influence on many important films - like the controversial A Clockwork Orange - some of which have now vanished from British screens altogether. This edition includes a brand new section on Bernardo Bertolucci's Last Tango in Paris, immediately engulfed in censorship wrangles on its release in 1972.

Revue de Presse :
`This volume in the excellent `Cinema and Society' series edited by Jeffrey Richards ... is interesting throughout [and] thoroughly researched.' - Film Review

`... immensely entertaining, eye opening social history, achieving a nice balance between the prudish and the prurient.' - Philip French, The Observer
