- Title
Josephine Botting, Adrian Brunel and British Cinema of the 1920s: The Artist versus the Moneybags.
- Authors
Stollery, Martin
- Abstract
Josephine Botting's book on Adrian Brunel provides a comprehensive exploration of the British filmmaker's career, drawing extensively from his paper archive held by the BFI. The book examines Brunel's reputation as a highbrow filmmaker and his relationships with collaborators, contrasting them with Hitchcock's ability to build a personal brand. While the book focuses on Brunel's work during the 1920s, it acknowledges his later films, many of which are lost. The book also analyzes key films in Brunel's career, offering insights into their production, critical reception, and box office performance. Overall, the book serves as an engaging introduction to the work of an overlooked British filmmaker during a transformative period in the industry.
