Until the mid-nineties, unreliable narration wasn't really an issue within film studies.
Theorizations of it were vague and filmic examples scarce. However, the arrival of movies
such as The Usual Suspects and Fight Club changed this, Suddenly, viewers and critics alike
started to speak of the unreliable narrator in the context of mainstream cinema and felt
-
more or less
-
comfortable with directors toying with the unspoken viewing contract.
The aim of this thesis is threefold. In a first step, we will have a close look as to when
viewers are likely to resort to the interpretive strategy of unreliable narration. Then, several
prime examples of unreliable filmic narration will be examined. Discussing Fight Club,
Memento and American Psycho, it will be shown how differently a subjective and, eventually,
distorted perspective can be presented on screen. Lastly, we will inspect the cognitive and
emotional responses often elicited by unreliable filmic narratives and why they tend to
attract more "sophisticated" viewers.
Utilizing a cognitive-cultural approach and focussing on narrative theory, the centre of
attention is on the American cinema of the last decade, although, for clarification purposes,
a number of films from other eras and countries are examined,
