«The 2005 James McTeigue and Wachowski Brothers' film V for Vendetta represents a collection of fragments pasted together from the original Moore and Lloyd graphic novel of the same name. This work identifies and examines the intersecting texts of V for Vendetta, with individual chapters providing localized readings of the story's specific intertextual components.»
