"Redux" is a post-positive adjective meaning "brought back, restored" (from the Latin reducere - to bring back) used in literature and film titles.
Works of literature using the word in the title are John Dryden's Astraea Redux (1662), "a poem on the happy restoration and return of His Sacred Majesty"; Anthony Trollope's Phineas Redux (1873), the sequel to Phineas Finn (1867); and John Updike's Rabbit Redux (1970), the second in his sequence of novels about the character Rabbit Angstrom.
