A’ OOR AIN: THE MAKING OF A SCOTTISH NATIONAL CINEMA THROUGH SHORT FICTION FILMS 1930-2016 by Zach Finch A Dissertation Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English at The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee May 2017 ABSTRACT A’ OOR AIN: THE MAKING OF A SCOTTISH NATIONAL CINEMA THROUGH SHORT FICTION FILMS 1930-2016 by Zach Finch The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, 2017 Under the Supervision of Professor Tami Williams This dissertation tells a story of Scottish national cinema through Scotland’s short fiction films from 1930 to 2016. As a small nation within the United Kingdom, Scotland’s film culture has played a subordinate role in relation to England’s, and has struggled for decades to create its own thriving film industry. However, in the mid-1990s, critics and scholars began to talk of a uniquely Scottish national cinema, rather than the traditional and all-encompassing “British cinema,” because of the success of films like Shallow Grave (1994) and Trainspotting (1996).

Scegli Il Tuo Destino
UNIVERSAL PICTURES e SPYGLASS ENTERTAINMENT Presentano In Associazione con RELATIVITY MEDIA Una Produzione MARC PLATT / KICKSTART In Associazione con TOP COW SCEGLI IL TUO DESTINO JAMES MCAVOY MORGAN FREEMAN TERENCE STAMP THOMAS KRETSCHMANN COMMON e ANGELINA JOLIE Produttori Esecutivi ADAM SIEGEL MARC SILVESTRI ROGER BIRNBAUM GARY BARBER Prodotto da MARC PLATT JIM LEMLEY JASON NETTER IAIN SMITH Basato sulla serie fumetti di MARK MILLAR and J.G. JONES Soggetto di MICHAEL BRANDT & DEREK HAAS Sceneggiatura di MICHAEL BRANDT & DEREK HAAS e CHRIS MORGAN Diretto da TIMUR BEKMAMBETOV Uscita 2 Luglio 2008 www.wanted-scegliltuodestino.it Wanted – Scegli il tuo Destino – Note di Produzione 2 La Produzione In WANTED, JAMES McAVOY (Espiazione, L’ultimo re di Scozia), MORGAN FREEMAN (Batman Begins, Million Dollar Baby) e ANGELINA JOLIE (Mr. & Mrs. Smith, Lara Croft: Tomb Raider) raccontano la storia dell’incredibile trasformazione di un uomo normalissimo in un invincibile giustiziere. Nel 2008 il mondo conoscerà l’eroe di una nuova generazione: Wesley Gibson. Il ‘visionario’ regista TIMUR BEKMAMBETOV (creatore di Day Watch e Irony of Fate: The Continuation, due dei film più importanti nella storia del cinema russo) dirige la complessa e intensa avventura del venticinquenne Wes (McAvoy), un fannullone che odia la propria vita e non ha tutti i torti. Al lavoro il suo capo vive per tormentarlo di fronte agli altri impiegati che bivaccano davanti alle loro scrivanie. A casa, la sua ragazza regala favori sessuali a tutti tranne che a lui, compreso al suo ‘migliore’ amico. Non è strano quindi che il povero Wes ingerisca costantemente pillole contro gli attacchi di panico, trangugiandole come se fossero caramelle, fra un pasto confezionato e l’altro, a base di tofu.
