Paperback. Explores the return of the 'epic' in 21st century cinema. Why did the epic come back, and why did it fall out of fashion? Are these the same kinds of epics as the 1950s and 60s, or are there aesthetic differences? Can we treat Kingdom of Heaven, 300 and Thor indiscriminately as one genre? Are non Western histories like Hero and Mongol epics, too? Editor(s): Elliot, Andrew B. R. Num Pages: 240 pages, 12 b&w illustrations. BIC Classification: JFCA; JFD.
