The Worlds of John Wick : The Year's Work at the Continental Hotel Hardback
Edited by Caitlin G. Watt, Stephen Watt
Part of the The Year's Work: Studies in Fan Culture and Cultural Theory series
Hardback
Description
Each John Wick film has earned more money and recognition than its predecessor, defying the conventional wisdom about the box office's action movie landscape, normally dominated by superhero movies and science fiction epics. As The Worlds of John Wick explores, the worldbuilding of John Wick offers thrills that you simply can't find anywhere else.
The franchise's plot combines familiar elements of the revenge thriller and crime film with seamlessly coordinated action.
One of its most distinctive appeals, however, is the detailed and multifaceted fictional world-or rather, worlds-it constructs.
The contributors to this volume consider everything from fight sequences, action aesthetics, and stunts to grief, cinematic space and time, and gender performance to map these worlds and explore how their range and depth make John Wick a hit.
A deep dive into this popular neo-noir franchise, The Worlds of John Wick celebrates and complicates the cult phenomenon that is John Wick.
