Cross-Cultural Remakes

Have you noticed that some films exist more than one time? This episode of Cinema Europe is all about remakes. It’s about what types of remakes there are, why they are produced and how they are perceived. The films Plain Soleil (1960) and The Talented Mr. Ripley (1997) are examined and compared in more detail.

 

Look forward to an exciting comparison and turn on the radio on Thursday, 15th February at 10am on 104.8fm and on stream!
