Description

Exploring the phenomenon of cinematic remaking, this comprehensive study examines the complex relationship between industry, critics and audiences in shaping our understanding of film remakes.

The book is divided into three sections, each addressing different aspects of remaking: its industrial category, textual category, and critical category. Through lively discussion of numerous historical and contemporary examples, it reveals how film remakes are both a repetition of existing cinematic and discursive fields, and a product of historically specific practices.

From classic Hollywood films to foreign art-films and cult movies, this book provides a systematic account of the various ways in which remaking operates within the context of cinema and popular culture.
