Abstract

A number of contemporary "modular narrative" films display, as a central stylistic and thematic concern, a fraught relationship between contingency and narrative order. This tendency finds particularly strong expression in two recent examples: 2! Grams (Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu, 2003) and Irreversible {Caspar Noe, 2002).
