Abstract This paper brings together narratology, game theory, and complexity theory to untangle the intricate nature of complex narratives in contemporary cinema. It interrogates the different terms - forking-path narratives, mind-game films, modular narratives, multiple-draft films, database narratives, puzzle films, subjective stories, and network narratives - used in current film theory to discuss complex narratives.
