The Metamodern Cinema of Taika Waititi

In this book, Kevin Corbett argues that as we reconsider postmodern cinema bridging the 20th and 21st centuries, this time period marks the transition and overlap from the cultural logic of postmodernism to the still-emerging cultural logic of metamodernism. From this premise, Corbett tracks the emergence of these elements over the course of Taika Waititi's career in film and television.
