The Multi–Protagonist Film explores the origins and history of one of the most exciting new developments in contemporary film worldwide. This "new” genre isn’t really new at all; rather, its historical roots run deep in the Hollywood canon – think Grand Hotel – and re–emerge in contemporary iterations in movies such as Singles, American Pie, Short Cuts, and Syriana. This volume provides elegant analyses of a variety of films to help chart the genre’s evolution and to explore the complexity, mixed messaging, and signal changes that define the multi–protagonist film in the current age. From the impact of globalization on society to shifting morals and the aftershocks of the sexual revolution, The Multi–Protagonist Film helps us to understand the genre and the imponderables that define the political, cultural, public and private spheres.
