Neil Jordan

''This book is a brilliant treatment of perhaps the most important contemporary Irish filmmaker. Under Pramaggiore's keen scrutiny, a career that might have seemed diffuse emerges as remarkably coherent, even while Pramaggiore's scrupulous attention to nuance never slights the differences across Jordan's films. An exceptional contribution to film studies.'' James Morrison, author of Roman Polanski ''Her critical position hinges on a reading of the director's oeuvre as being defined by his exploration of the postmodern gothic...fine contributions to the study of this key Irish film-maker...Pramaggiore's will be a set text.'' Ruth Barton, Trinity College Dublin. Author of Acting Irish in Hollywood: from Fitzgerald to Farrell
