Reviews

""A vital, generous, and illuminating contribution not only to writing about Perkins and Cavell but to the further flourishing of accessible writing about film and its achievements. Dominic Lash has written a series of essays that offer each in its own marvelous way a fresh path for thinking about and experiencing cinema and the work of two of its most accomplished and important scholars."" — Jason Jacobs, University of Queensland
