European Film Remakes
Eduard Cuelenaere, Gertjan Willems, Stijn Joye
Combines historical and contemporary approaches to film remakes in Europe
- Investigates, next to the textual, socio-cultural and political dimensions, the often neglected industrial, financial and production-related dynamics of European remake practices
- Provides a mix of different methodologies, ranging from comparative textual analysis to production, promotion, and reception analysis
- Takes into account both popular and art cinema remakes
- Examines European film remakes within local, regional, national, transnational or transcultural contexts
- Offers new theoretical concepts and methodological models that take into account both the distinctive and universal aspects of film remaking in a European context
Bringing together a range of international scholars, European Film Remakes discusses for the first time the textual, socio-cultural, political, and industrial mechanisms and singularities of the film remake in a European context. Offering a variety of historical, theoretical, and methodological approaches, the book is illustrated by a wide range of case studies from across Europe, including films like A Bigger Splash, Open Your Eyes and Perfect Strangers. Although commonly understood as a typical Hollywood practice, this book demonstrates how film remakes are, and always have been, a significant part of the European film culture and industry.
