And yet, even the most rudimentary pillars of his thought remain mysterious to most students (and even many scholars) of film studies. From one of the foremost theorists following Deleuze in the world today, \u003ci\u003eDeleuze and \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eLola Montès \u003c\/i\u003eoffers a detailed explication of Gilles Deleuze's writings on film  from his books \u003ci\u003eCinema 1: The Movement-Image \u003c\/i\u003e(1983) and \u003ci\u003eCinema 2: The Time-Image\u003c\/i\u003e (1985).  Building on this foundation, Rushton provides an interpretation of Max Ophuls's classic film \u003ci\u003eLola Montès\u003c\/i\u003e as an example of how Deleuzian film theory can function in the practice of film interpretation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eDeleuze and Lola Montes\u003c\/i\u003e offers an articulate and accessible introduction to Deleuze’s theories as well as an instructive case study of how to use Deleuze’s writings on cinema to illuminate particular films. * Jean Wyatt, Professor of English, Occidental College, USA *\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eDeleuze and Lola Montès\u003c\/i\u003e unpacks the intricate interweaving of Deleuze’s theories of cinematic image, time, and subjectivity. The clarity of this work has the capacity to make the teaching of the \u003ci\u003eCinema\u003c\/i\u003e books an enjoyable experience; no easy task, something anyone who has attempted to teach them will confirm. Furthermore, the work does so without smoothing over the complexities of Deleuze’s thinking. This goes far beyond what one might expect from a text book. Rushton’s scholarship will enable readers to understand the conceptual tenets of the \u003ci\u003eCinema\u003c\/i\u003e books while guiding them through Deleuze’s philosophical lineage from Spinoza, Nietzsche, and Bergson. Along the way, the reader learns how Deleuze’s rigorous interrogation of time and subjectivity, in addition to his response to and revision of these philosophers, is threaded through his film theory. Deleuze’s \u003ci\u003eCinema\u003c\/i\u003e books comprise an innovative and unique way of engaging in film texts. It will be exciting to see how, through this exceptional textbook, film students enter conversations with Deleuze that will reverberate in their theoretical thinking and efforts in cinematic image making. This is a fortunate opportunity for theory and practice to meet in the film studies classroom. * Hyon Joo Yoo, Associate Professor of Film and Television Studies, University of Vermont, USA *\u003cbr\u003eA brilliant idea in popularizing Deleuze’s theory through a masterpiece in European cinema. This may also lead to further work on Ophuls and Deleuze. * Fabio Vighi, Professor of Italian and Critical Theory, Cardiff University, UK *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction Section 1: Deleuze’s Cinema: Movement, Time, Memory, and Subjectivity  Section 2: The Time-Image and \u003ci\u003eL\u003c\/i\u003eo\u003ci\u003ela Montès\u003c\/i\u003e Conclusion Further Reading Bibliography","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing Plc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51019957895511,"sku":"9781501345760","price":58.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781501345760.jpg?v=1750781879","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/deleuze-and-lola-montes-9781501345760","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
