Pacchigi(Izutsu Kazuyuki, 2004) was a hit film that adapted the story of a Japanese youth translating and covering a North Korean ballad,Imjin River, in 1960s Kyoto. The song is at the centre of both the film's plot and the broader constellation of media texts that circulated around the film, promoting and commenting on the story, inviting the viewer to unpack the dense network of pop cultural citations contained in the film, and hence dispersing and augmenting the film's narration.Pacchigiis then both a transmedia brand or franchise, and an adaptation with a historical setting. This article asks what effects transmedia narration has on thePacchigifranchise's approach to history and adaptation; what happens, in other words, when ‘transmedia storytelling’ becomes transmedia history telling. Because the source it is adapting is itself a tale of adaptation,Pacchigiis able, as a number of other films have, to reflexively comment on its own intertextuality, to enter into a relationship with its sources that Gérard Genette calls ‘metatextual’. The dense intertextuality of thePacchigifranchise, in denying any one of its component parts the status of a definitive telling, and encouraging spectators to engage in its game of citation-hunting, attempts a mode of history telling that is dialogical and reflexive.
