Reviews

Nilsson proposes both a new interpretation of the relationship between theory and practice in the work of Jean-Luc Godard and a new reading of Gilles Deleuze and the application of his thought to cinema. Nilsson delineates a rich new avenue for research in film-philosophy. No other book has examined in such detail or with such conviction Godard's famous claim that cinema is 'a form that thinks.'--Douglas Morrey, University of Warwick This book closely examines the interconnections between cinema and philosophy; in line with, but also moving beyond Deleuze. The words ""cinema"" and ""concepts"" are here tightly bound up to shape a new theoretical development of audio-visual philosophy. It comes close to a specific version of what I have called ""Image-Thinking"".--Mieke Bal, author of Image-Thinking: Artmaking as Cultural Analysis
