Specially written for students of Film and Media Studies, Studying The Wicker Man explores the sophistication and ingenuity of this unique film by considering:

• The games it plays with notions of genre and narrative
• Its representations of setting, gender and the common attitudes and concerns of its day
• The journey it has taken from its treatment by the industry institutions that originally tried to sell it, to its gradual acceptance and reappraisal by modern audiences.
