"Philosophy and Film is the first collection of essays on film to be written exclusively by philosophers. Its premise is that philosophy offers a unique perspective with the potential to make distinctive and valuable contribtutions to film studies. The collection includes essays that demonstrate the broad range of concerns that philosophers have in approaching film. 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 melodrama and realist horror. Individual films include Persona, Europa Europa, Malcolm X, Do the Right Thing, Ghost and Sea of Love."

Reviews for Philosophy and Film

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
