Summary

Engages Deleuze's philosophy with a range of popular films and explores the degree to which a film's popularity impacts upon its ability to 'think' (in the manner that Deleuze described in relation to examples of the art of film in his Cinema books), and the global diversity of this cinematic 'thinking' in popular international film.

Deleuze and Film Reviews

Deleuze and Film presents a rich collection of essays that takes Deleuze's work on cinema out of its dominant Eurocentric corpus. Taking us on an inspiring world tour of film analysis and creative conceptual thinking, this book testifies to the continuing productive generosity of Deleuze's film-philosophy, and includes a dynamic range and depth of film scholarship. -- Patricia Pisters, Professor of Media and Film Studies, University of Amsterdam This book testifies to the continuing vitality of Gilles Deleuze's Cinema volumes: they still offer resources to film scholars and theorists today even when they are working on the sorts of films that Deleuze himself never commented on. -- Steven Shaviro, DeRoy Professor of English, Wayne State University Deleuze and Film presents a rich collection of essays that takes Deleuze's work on cinema out of its dominant Eurocentric corpus.
