Bringing together a range of international scholars, European Film Remakes discusses for the first time the textual, socio-cultural, political, and industrial mechanisms and singularities of the film remake in a European context. Offering a variety of historical, theoretical, and methodological approaches, the book is illustrated by a wide range of case studies from across Europe, including films like A Bigger Splash, Open Your Eyes and Perfect Strangers. Although commonly understood as a typical Hollywood practice, this book demonstrates how film remakes are, and always have been, a significant part of the European film culture and industry.

In this exciting new volume Cuelenaere, Willems and Joye bring together established names in the field of remake studies and a number of bright new voices. The result is a rich and diverse collection of essays written from multiple perspectives. Moving away from the established tendency to focus on the Hollywood remake and building upon a growing body of literature on its European counterparts, the collection provides fresh and invigorating new thinking on the European film industries while simultaneously adding important insights to the theorisation of remakes, adaptations and transnational cinema more widely.
