Deleuze and Cinema Summary

Deleuze and Cinema: The Film Concepts by Felicity Colman (Director of Research Programmes at Kingston University, London)

Gilles Deleuze published two radical books on film: Cinema 1: The Movement-Image and Cinema 2: The Time-Image. Engaging with a wide range of film styles, histories and theories, Deleuze's writings treat film as a new form of philosophy. This cine-philosophy offers a startling new way of understanding the complexities of the moving image, its technical concerns and constraints as well as its psychological and political outcomes.

Deleuze and Cinema presents a step-by-step guide to the key concepts behind Deleuze's revolutionary theory of the cinema. Exploring ideas through key directors and genres, Deleuze's method is illustrated with examples drawn from American, British, continental European, Russian and Asian cinema.

Deleuze and Cinema provides the first introductory guide to Deleuze's radical methodology for screen analysis. It will be invaluable for students and teachers of Film, Media and Philosophy.

Deleuze and Cinema Reviews

How do you use Deleuzian theory in film analysis? Let Colman be your guide. Combining clear explanation and copious examples, she charts a viable future for a Deleuzian practice of film criticism. Vigorous, incisive and provocative, this is an essential and timely contribution to the field. * Ronald Bogue, University of Georgia *
Teaching readers how to approach the book, the helpful organization of each chapter, detailed examples from a variety of films, extensive citations from academic sources, and cross-references between chapters - is evidence of Colman being a responsible teacher conversing with and teaching students who are unfamiliar with Deleuze. -- Goh Wee Kiat, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore * New Review of Film and Television Studies *
