Reviews for Transnational Film Remakes
Transnational Film Remakes not only succeeds in providing great explanations of complex issues, but, and probably more importantly, raises new thought-provoking questions. Therefore, it will be an interesting read for scholars working in transnational (remake) studies, or more broadly in adaptation studies, but equally for everyone interested in film studies and the recycling of cultural artefacts.
