Despite this book's genesis as an original thesis, and consequently with its density, occasional opacity and relentlessly sustained narrative trajectory, The Performance of Trauma will nevertheless provide an outstanding contribution to wider cinema literature, and will find readers from the many areas of screen studies: history, politics, philosophy, practice, and also those interested in reception and understanding, loss and trauma, and narrative issues. Dr David Ritchie Honorary Associate Professor, School of Communication and Creative Arts, Deakin University Senses of Cinema, 75 (2015)
