With anger mounting at an out-of-touch establishment, the era was reflected on screen by the rise of Woodfall Films. Founded in 1958 by director Tony Richardson, writer John Osbourne and producer Harry Saltzman, the company pioneered the British New Wave, defining an incendiary brand of social realism. In films like \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eLook Back in Anger\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e (1959) and \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eSaturday Night and Sunday Morning\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e (1960), working-class life was spot-lit with unheard-of honesty. The same risk-taking spirit led the company to find a new generation of brilliant young actors to star in their films, including Albert Finney, Tom Courtenay and Rita Tushingham.

From 1958 to 1984 Woodfall produced twenty award-winning often genre defining films. Here, presented for the first time are eight of Woodfall's early ground-breaking films, many newly restored and remastered.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"a-unordered-list a-vertical\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLook Back in Anger (Tony Richardson, 1959)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Entertainer (Tony Richardson, 1960)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSaturday Night and Sunday Morning (Karel Reisz, 1960)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA Taste of Honey (Tony Richardson, 1961)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner (Tony Richardson, 1962)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTom Jones (Tony Richardson, 1963) (New 4K digital restorations of the original theatrical version of the film and the 1989 director's cut)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGirl with Green Eyes (Desmond Davis, 1964)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Knack...and how to get it (Richard Lester, 1965)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSpecial features:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"a-unordered-list a-vertical\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eOver 20 hours extra material\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e80-page book featuring essays on all 8 films\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"BFI","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46600849555630,"sku":"BFIB1296","price":83.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0583\/4614\/3918\/files\/Woodfall-A-Revolution-in-British-Cinema-Lime-Light.jpg?v=1754409269","url":"https:\/\/limelightcollection.co.uk\/en-us\/products\/woodfall-a-revolution-in-british-cinema-blu","provider":"Limelight Collection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
