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 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.
