"When an image of a film that's inherently embedded with the culture of the Royal Kingdom comes to mind, especially to the uninformed, a scene involving pompous aristocrats sipping tea and eating biscuits, speaking in exaggerated cockney accents is to be expected. However, the reality of a British film is far more complex than that stereotypical depiction.
Since its peak back in the 50s with its Realist films, British Cinema has always been concerned with realistically depicting rebellion. While their counterparts of the Nouvelle Vague were most concerned with stylizing similar subject matters, British filmmakers immersed themselves with more honest depictions of dissent.
The films on this list, through a myriad of different approaches, tackle the inherent concept of this sense of subversion, be it through their intriguing narratives or even the very filmmaking behind the films themselves."
