Out of Their Depth

Following the cultural upheaval and racial tensions of the 1960s, the early 1970s saw America increasingly in social and political turmoil.

This heightened unease in the mainstream American psyche was reflected in films from the New Hollywood, the period where the traditional male hero of the classic studio era was replaced by a protagonist who, whilst they thought they were in control, found themselves increasingly out of their depth.

Cinema Rediscovered and Park Circus present this touring screening season.
