George Orwell on Screen: Adaptations, Documentaries and Docudramas on Film and Television is a book-length comprehensive exploration written by British writer and journalist David Ryan, delving into the cinematic and televisual adaptations of the works of British author and essayist George Orwell.
Ryan's analysis is supported by interviews with key industry figures, including actors, writers, directors, and producers, providing a perspective on the evolution of Orwellian themes in visual media.
On the strength of this book, The Criterion Collection interviewed David Ryan for its Blu-ray of Michael Radford's film 1984.
[2] Reviewer Scott Stalcup wrote that Ryan's book "very well may be the most important contribution to the field since Michael Shelden's authorized literary biography".
