British realism has undergone significant transformation over the past 20 years, with a notable shift towards a poetic approach. This new realism challenges the instrumentalism and didacticism of filmmakers like Ken Loach, embracing lyrical and often ambiguous encounters with place. It explores the interplay between the physical processes of lived experience and the rhythms of everyday life, offering a fresh perspective on British cinema. This book examines the work of five filmmakers – Duane Hopkins, Joanna Hogg, Andrea Arnold, Shane Meadows, and Clio Barnard – as case studies, delving into the depth of this new tradition and reigniting debates about realism that have long fascinated scholars.
