British New Wave
The British New Wave is a style of films released in Great Britain between 1959 and 1963. The label is a translation of ''Nouvelle Vague'', the French term first applied to the films of François Truffaut, and Jean-Luc Godard among others. Stylistic characteristics The British New Wave was characterised by many of the same stylistic and thematic conventions as the French New Wave. Usually in black and white, these films had a spontaneous quality, often shot in a pseudo-documentary (or ''cinéma vérité'') style on real locations and with real people rather than extras, apparently capturing life as it happens. There is considerable overlap between the New Wave and the ''angry young men'', those artists in British theatre and film such as playwright John Osborne and director Tony Richardson, who challenged the social ''status quo''. Their work drew attention to the reality of life for the working classes, especially in the North of England, often characterised as "It's grim up ...

Angry Young Men
The "angry young men" were a group of mostly working- and middle-class British playwrights and novelists who became prominent in the 1950s. The group's leading figures included John Osborne and Kingsley Amis; other popular figures included John Braine, Alan Sillitoe, and John Wain. The phrase was originally coined by the Royal Court Theatre's press officer in order to promote Osborne's 1956 play ''Look Back in Anger''. It is thought to be derived from the autobiography of Leslie Paul, founder of the Woodcraft Folk, whose ''Angry Young Man'' was published in 1951. Following the success of the Osborne play, the label "angry young men" was later applied by British media to describe young writers who were characterised by a disillusionment with traditional British society. The term, always imprecise, began to have less meaning over the years as the writers to whom it was originally applied became more divergent, and many of them dismissed the label as useless. John Osborne The playw ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
