Vlad Dima offers an important re-evaluation of the meaning (less-ness) of time in postcolonial cinema through a deep and compelling exploration of the undead from Africa to postcolonial Paris. The book casts a unique light on the entanglement of time, death, and love in a haunting way. So much to take in, not only in the text but also between the lines, or as the author would say, 'between the shots.' --BENEDICTE BOISSERON, professor of Afroamerican and African studies, University of Michigan
