It offers detailed, up-to-date commentary, inviting us to go to the movies with Foucault.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eFoucault at the Movies\u003c\/i\u003e is an effectively translated and admirably assembled work of film scholarship and philosophical history . . . Foucault’s thoughts on film are fascinating yet also offer a more genial look at the famed philosopher. -- Mike McClelland * Spectrum Culture *\u003cbr\u003eTo accept this volume's invitation 'to go to the movies with Foucault' is to find oneself ushered to a seat from which the screen ahead looks dazzlingly different. * Times Literary Supplement *\u003cbr\u003eHere is a collection to excite the archaeological imagination. -- Thomas Beard * Film Comment *\u003cbr\u003eThis volume will prove useful not only to anyone who teaches or studies Foucault, but also to those interested in Continental philosophy and film studies. * Choice *\u003cbr\u003eFoucault at the Movies is a challenging yet satisfying read that bridges a considerable gap in film and philosophy. Well-researched, its overarching strength is the location of film within Foucault’s archaeological and genealogical project. This book will prove to be pivotal reading for anyone interested in the intersections of film-philosophy and film history and will doubtlessly titillate Foucault scholars interested in a synthesis of these lesser-known writings. -- Kyler Chittick * Foucault Studies *\u003cbr\u003eLike all of his great interviews, \u003ci\u003eFoucault at the Movies\u003c\/i\u003e presents Foucault speaking in his own voice. We find Foucault saying that “the art of living” means that psychology must be killed; that the body must be dismantled; that memory must function without remembering; and that passion is more interesting than love. \u003ci\u003eFoucault at the Movies\u003c\/i\u003e is an invaluable addition to our understanding of Foucault’s thought. -- Leonard Lawlor, Penn State University\u003cbr\u003eMichel Foucault’s writings have led many of us to think differently.  Do his observations on film introduce us to fresh ways of seeing?  If philosophers have primarily studied discourses of truth, perhaps they need to give equal consideration to the overpowering fabrication of regimes of fiction, especially those of our cinematic culture.  Is Fascism comprehensible apart from the images of Leni Riefenstahl’s \u003ci\u003eTriumph of the Will\u003c\/i\u003e?  \u003ci\u003eFoucault at the Movies \u003c\/i\u003eis a stimulating engagement with a frequently overlooked contribution from the French thinker. -- James Bernauer, Boston College\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTranslator’s Preface, by Clare O’Farrell\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction: Michel Foucault’s Cut, by Patrice Maniglier and Dork Zabunyan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart 1.
