Discussions of the phenomenon of postmodernism have established certain characteristics that are typical of postmodernist culture. These characteristics include formal fragmentation, a tendency toward a particular kind of nostalgia, and the use of materials and styles borrowed from previous films and other cultural products. This volume presents a brief summary of the characteristics that have typically been associated with postmodernism, especially as they pertain to film. It illustrates those characteristics with discussions of a wide variety of American films of the past thirty years, noting how those films participate in the phenomenon of postmodernism. Emphasis is on popular, commercial films, rather than the more esoteric, experimental products that have sometimes been associated with postmodern film. The author's work contains detailed discussions of a wide variety of American films - including classics like "Sullivan's Travels" and "The Last Picture Show", and recent successes such as "Scream", "Natural Born Killers", "Memento", "Moulin Rouge", and "Fight Club" - noting how these films participate in the phenomenon of postmodernism, and how they have helped to shape its current form.
