Description

Metaphysics and the Moving Image examines the idea that film has the potential to overcome our alienation from and restore our capacity to find meaning and value in the everyday world. It discusses the work of film theorists and philosophers such as Siegfried Kracauer, Gilles Deleuze, and Stanley Cavell, in relation to contemplative films, including The Thin Red Line and The Turin Horse. It demontrates that even in the aftermath of the 'end of metaphysics', questions about the meanings of being find compelling and open-ended responses in cinema.
