British Winners
Les Miserables- Les
Miserables is a British musical drama film, and is the book adaption of Victor
Hugo’s 1862 French novel. This film was produced by Working Title Films and
distributed by Universal Pictures. Working Title Films is a British film production
company, based in London.
The company was founded by Tim Bevan
and Sarah
Radclyffe in 1983. It produces feature films and several television
productions. Eric Fellner
and Bevan are now the co-owners of the company, and with this in mind, this is
one of the reasons Les Mis is classed as a British film.
Swimmer- Swimmer is an 18 minute long short film, following
a young man as he swims through the lakes and rivers of Britain, continually
tracking his journey along the way. Swimmer was directed by Lynne Ramsay, a
graduate from the National Film Television school in the year 1995.
Lincoln- Although the film itself is about American
story and is produced and directed by American producer and director ‘Steven
Spielberg’, the main actor in the film (Daniel-Day Lewis) is British, which in
turn, you could argue, makes the film British.
