Reviews

Josef Fruchtl's book is a thoughtful addition to the ever-growing field of film and philosophy . . . This is a serious, ambitious, complex, and intriguing exploration of how the cinema offers to so many viewers an answer to skepticism. - Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews A fascinating and philosophically provocative exploration of cinema's power to 'restore belief in the world', focusing not only on Deleuze's account of modern cinema but drawing on Nancy and Cavell as well. - Robert Sinnerbrink, Macquarie University, Australia
