The Return of the Epic Film
by Elliot Andrew (Author),
Edinburgh University Press (Publisher)
Product Specifications
Book Description
With the success of Gladiator, both critics and scholars enthusiastically
announced the return of a genre which had lain dormant for thirty years.
However, this return raises important new questions which remain unanswered. Why
did the epic come back, and why did it fall out of fashion? Are these the same
kinds of epics as the 1950s and 60s, or are there aesthetic differences? Can we
treat Kingdom of Heaven, 300 and Thor indiscriminately as one genre? Are
non-Western histories like Hero and Mongol epics, too? Finally, what precisely
do we mean when we talk about the return of the epic film, and why are they
back?
