'New Takes in Film-Philosophy is a distinguished collection of essays on the philosophy of film, which offers an invaluable overview of the ongoing debates about whether films can do philosophy and if they are appropriate subjects for philosophical analysis. Illustrating a multiplicity of philosophical approaches to film, the essays explore the boundaries of film-philosophy and offer insightful readings of particular films.'

'The encounter between the cinema and philosophy has been crucial to the development of thinking about film and to thinking itself. This volume gathers some of the pivotal writers in the area and provides a diverse, accessible and sophisticated introduction to the major debates surrounding film-philosophy. The articles range from general theoretical discussion to close film analysis and together articulate a new solution to the problematic divide between analytic and continental philosophy. The chapters by Thomas Wartenberg, Robert Sinnerbrink and Andrew Klevan are required reading for anyone interested in cinema or philosophy.'
