Om denne bog

Film has become such an underpinning of art and pop culture that its potential for inspiring serious thought is often overlooked. Our intellectual involvement with film has been minimized as more in the audience want to be merely amazed and entertained.

Essays written by both established and cutting-edge philosophers of film concentrate in this work on the value of film in general and the value of certain films in particular for the study and teaching of ideas. The essays explore such topics as the significance of narrative unity for self knowledge in David Lynch''s Lost Highway and in Paul Schrader''s Affliction; ambiguity and responsibility in Akira Kurosawa''s Rashomon; consciousness and cognition in Orson Welles''s Citizen Kane; skepticism in Alfred Hitchcock''s Suspicion and David Cronenberg''s Naked Lunch; language and gender in Neil Jordan''s The Crying Game; Platonic idealism in Chris Marker''s La Jetee; race in Spike Lee''s Summer of Sam; the concept of the imagination in cognitive film theory; and the role of ideology in feminist film theory.
