Abstract

The phenomenon of postmodern cinema-its context and characteristics-and its influence in new Hollywood is examined in this article. Through numerous examples, it reflects on the critical and subversive potential of postmodern cinema and concludes that, however much it provides tools for political criticism - particularly parody - Hollywood films typically are aligned with neo-conservative ideas or are uncritical.
