This book offers a new way of thinking about film endings. Whereas
existing works on the subject concentrate on narrative resolution,
this book explores the way film endings blend together a complex of
motifs, tropes and other elements to create the sense of an ending
-that is, it looks at 'endings as endings'. Drawing on a wide range
of examples taken from films of different periods and national
cinemas, the author identifies three key features which structure
the work: thresholds and boundaries, water, and, above all, the
beach. The beach combines water and a boundary and is the most
resonant of the key sites to which film endings gravitate. Although
beach endings go back to at least 1910, they have increased
markedly in post-classical cinema, and can be found across all
genres and in films from many different countries. As the leading
example of the book's argument, they illustrate both the aesthetic
richness and the structural complexity of film endings.
