Deleuze and Film by David Martin-Jones
Deleuze and Film explores how different films from around the world 'think' about topics like history, national identity, geopolitics, ethics, gender, genre, affect, religion, surveillance culture, digital aesthetics and the body. Greatly expanding on the range of films discussed in Deleuze's 'Cinema' books, the contributors look at Asian films including 'Godzilla', American film noir, European art films like 'Red Road', documentaries including the animated 'Waltz with Bashir' and Hollywood CGI Blockbusters such as 'Hellboy'.
