Cinema after Deleuze

Cinema After Deleuze offers a clear and lucid introduction to Deleuze´s writings on cinema which will appeal both to undergraduates and specialists in film studies and philosophy. The book provides explanations of the many categories and classifications found in Deleuze´s two landmark books on cinema and offers assessments of a range of films and directors, including works by John Ford, Sergei Eisenstein, Alfred Hitchcock, Michelangelo Antonioni and Alain Resnais. Richard Rushton also discusses contemporary directors such as Steven Spielberg, Lars von Trier, Martin Scorsese and Wong Kar-Wai in the light of Deleuze´s theories and in doing so brings Deleuze´s Cinema books right up to date. Cinema After Deleuze demonstrates why Deleuze is rightly considered today to be one of the great theorists of cinema. The book is essential reading for students in philosophy and film studies alike.
