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.
