Film trilogies new critical approaches

In contemporary discussions of media serialization, the film trilogy is typically absorbed into larger considerations of remaking, repetition and recycling. Film Trilogies: New Critical Approaches is the first book to actively address this preconception by attending to the ways in which the trilogy is practiced and perceived as a distinct form at the levels of industry, textuality and criticism. Acknowledging the trilogy's high level of visibility as a commercial mode, as well as its strong historical connections to discourses of authorship and art cinema, the collection begins from the premise that the classification imparts a level of precision exceeding the categories of 'sequels' and 'series'. In lively case studies from American, European and Asian contexts, leading film scholars take up this question to investigate the value that the trilogy nomination brings to a set of films.

  • "'This collection is interesting, informative and much-needed. It will act as a key resource within the field and cross-over with a number of related subjects within film studies, such as adaptation, sequels and remakes.' - Jamie Sexton, Northumbria University, UK 'Film Trilogies is a timely and welcome addition to recent studies of what has been described disparagingly as commercial cinema's financially motivated compulsion to repeat, but with this marked difference; contrary to its association with remakes, series, and sequels, the trilogy, as this volume ably demonstrates, is generally the work of an auteur, and its repetitions are aesthetic and thematic, not formulaic. The essays in this book represent an important contribution to the continuing exploration of the richness of returning to earlier cinematic material.' - Jennifer Forrest, Texas State University-San Marcos, USA."
