This title combines, in a unique and innovative way, analytical
approaches from literary narratology, film studies and new media
studies.This title examines the recent cinematic trend of 'modular'
narrative form, in which the temporal flow of the narrative is
disrupted. It identifies and describes four different models of
cinematic modular narrative. There is increasing academic interest
in the topic of narrative complexity in film, illustrated by
significant recent attention in journal articles, but this is the
first monograph to study the phenomenon exclusively. It combines
analytical approaches from literary narratology, film studies and
new media studies. It includes analysis of a number of 'cult' films
that are popular among film students both in the UK and the US e.g.
Run Lola Run, 21 Grams, and Memento.Since the early 1990s there has
been a trend towards narrative complexity within popular cinema.
This book examines a number of contemporary films that play overtly
with narrative structure, raising questions of chance and destiny,
memory and history, simultaneity and the representation of time.
