What happens when a film is remade in another national context? How
do notions of translation, adaptation and localisation help us
understand the cultural dynamics of these shifts, and in what ways
does a transnational perspective offer us a deeper understanding of
film remaking? Bringing together a range of international scholars,
Transnational Film Remakes is the first edited collection to
specifically focus on the phenomenon of cross-cultural remakes.
Using a variety of case studies, from Hong Kong remakes of Japanese
cinema to Bollywood remakes of Australian television, this book
provides an analysis of cinematic remaking that moves beyond
Hollywood to address the truly global nature of this phenomenon.
Looking at iconic contemporary titles such as The Girl with the
Dragon Tattoo and Oldboy, as well as classics like La Bete Humaine
and La Chienne, this book interrogates the fluid and dynamic ways
in which texts are adapted and reworked across national borders to
provide a distinctive new model for understanding these global
cultural borrowings.
