The unusual liveliness of this indispensable volume arises in part from the fact that these philosophers, in writing about a broad swathe of important cinema from the 1960's to the present, necessarily step into the role of critics, as writers including Benjamin, Barthes, and Blanchot defined this vocation. The collective authors of this useful as well as inspiring book rise to the multifaceted challenges of interdisciplinary cultural critique.\" -- Henry Sussman\u003cbr\u003e\"Finally!
