"Philosophy and Film" is the first collection of essays on film to be exclusively written by philosophers. Its premise is that philosophy offers a unique perspective with the potential to make distinctive and valuable contributions to film studies.
Respecting the diversity of contemporary philosophical approaches, the editors have included essays that demonstrate the broad range of concerns that philosophers have in approaching film. The selection highlights the creative diversity of philosophical perspectives; analytical, "Continental," Marxist, feminist, postmodern, anti-postmodern and classical.
The volume moves from broad theoretical reflections on film as a medium to considerations of specific genres, and finally to concrete examinations of individual films. The genres discussed include the modern film noir, the "unlikely couple" film, the "Black Cupid" film, melodrama and realist horror and individual films include Persona, Europa Europa, Malcolm X, Do the Right Thing and 2001: A Space Odyssey.

Industry Reviews

"The individual analyses of films by Kubrick, Holland, Bergman, and Spike Lee, and of the melodramatic tradition from Casablanca (1942) to Ghost (1990), are insightful in their theoretical applications." -"Choice
