The result is a thorough volume that successfully combines theory and interpretation...Campora’s goals are numerous, and he moves through his information clearly and carefully…and makes the reader want to return to the films themselves, to watch them each anew with [his] insights in mind. Campora’s book illuminates many fascinating features of these films and this genre, and his book will be of interest to a wide variety of readers.”\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e · Film Criticism\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cem\u003e“…identifies and defines a distinct group of films within contemporary complex narrative films, partly tracing historical antecedents, using a useful taxonomy for contemporary complex narrative films.”\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e· Nitzan Ben Shaul\u003c\/strong\u003e, Tel Aviv University\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cem\u003e“This book effectively combines theories of multiform narrative with subjective realism to develop a sophisticated theory of complex storytelling in contemporary cinema.
