Josef Früchtl

Trust in the World

A Philosophy of Film

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book examines the theory, originally raised in Gilles Deleuze's philosophy of film, that cinema has the power to restore our trust in the world. Früchtl demonstrates that cinema does this in three main ways: by restoring our belief in the absurd, in the body and in a sceptical abstention from judging and acting.
