From "Inception" to "The Lake House," moviegoers are
increasingly flocking to narratologically complex puzzle films.
These puzzle movies borrow techniques like fragmented
spatio-temporal reality, time loops, unstable characters with split
identities or unreliable narrators more commonly attributed to art
cinema and independent films. The essays in "Hollywood Puzzle
Films" examine the appropriation of puzzle film techniques by
contemporary Hollywood dramas and blockbusters through questions of
narrative, time, and altered realities. Analyzing movies like
"Source Code," "The Butterfly Effect," "Donnie Darko," "Deja Vu,"
and adaptations of Philip K. Dick, contributors explore the
implications of Hollywood's new movie mind games."
