About the Author

In The Epic in Film,
Constantine
Santas argues that blockbuster and artis¬
tic are not mutually exclusive terms and, perhaps more importantly, that epic
film is an inherently profound genre in its ability to tap into the dreams and
fears of a nation, and sometimes those of the human race. Why do we see
dozens and dozens of films based on the King Arthur legend? Why would a
presidential hopeful borrow the phrase Read my lips from Clint Eastwood s
Dirty Harry? Why do war epics proliferate ¡n times of war or national crisis?
Why are epics as a whole the most popular movie genre?
Whether you love Gone with the Wind and hate Troy, find Akira Kurosawa s
films brilliant or marvel over the depth of the Matrix trilogy, if you re a film
buff, you will want to read this first book-length treatment of the epic
—
a
wildly popular, infinitely fascinating, and critically underappreciated genre.

Department of English at Ragler College in Florida. He is the author of
Responding to Film and has translated several works from Greek to English.
