Tuitions and Intuitions

Angebote / Angebote:

William Rothman has long been considered one of the seminal figures in the field of film-philosophy. From his landmark book Hitchcock: The Murderous Gaze, now in its second edition, to the essays collected here in Tuitions and Intuitions, Rothman has been guided by two intuitions: first, that his kind of film criticism is philosophy, and second, that such a marriage of criticism and philosophy has an essential part to play in the serious study of film. In this book, he aspires, borrowing a formulation from Emerson, to "pay the tuition" for these intuitions.Thoughtful, philosophically sophisticated, and provocative, the essays included here address a wide range of films, including classical Hollywood movies, the work of "auteur" directors like Alfred Hitchcock, George Cukor, Yasujiro Ozu, and Woody Allen, performances by John Barrymore and James Stewart, unconventional works by Jean Genet, Chantal Akerman, Terrence Malick, and the Dardenne brothers, the television series Justified, and documentaries by Jean Rouch, Ross McElwee, and Robert Gardner. All the essays address questions of philosophical significance and, taken together, manifest Rothman's lifelong commitment when writing about a film, to respect the film's own ideas, to remain open to the film's ways of expressing its ideas, and to let the film help teach him how to view it, how to think about it, and how to discover what he has at heart to say about it.
