The paper aims to identify the characteristic features of the film discourse linguistic study by foreign researchers at the beginning of the 21^st century. The scientific originality of the research is based on the fact that it reveals the leading position of multimodal paradigmatics in the foreign linguistics which determines the main approaches to the film discourse analysis, its understanding and interpretation. As a result, a review of multimodal study of the film discourse at the beginning of the 21^st century has been presented, its research methods have been considered, the logic to interpret the film discourse has been described, the areas of application of the results of the film discourse multimodal study have been identified.
