Judith Williamson takes herself to the movies, and this book contains
the reviews she wrote as film critic for Time Out, City Limits, the
radical alternative London weekly listings paper, and the New Statesman.
This book contains her journalism, analysis of those times and her
career as a journalist in a turbulent England with fierce labour
relations raging, both in the NUJ, and during the Miner's Strike. The
book covers most films on general release in these years, as well as
esoteric foreign movies.
Judith Williamson is a professor, and journalist, and teaches cultural
studies at the Maidstone College of Art. She is the author of two other
acclaimed books on culture and imagery.
