Filmosophy

Filmosophy is a provocative new manifesto for a radically philosophical way of understanding cinema. The book coalesces twentieth-century ideas of film as thought (from Hugo M�nsterberg to Gilles Deleuze) into a practical theory of `film-thinking', arguing that film style conveys poetic ideas through a constant dramatic `intent' about the characters, spaces and events of film. With discussions of contemporary filmmakers such as B�la Tarr, Michael Haneke and the Dardenne brothers, this timely intervention into the study of film and philosophy will stir argument and discussion among both filmgoers and filmmakers alike.
