“The structure and clarity of this book is superb. … The point to make is that this book is as useful to film studies as it is to literature studies and politics. It would also serve a more avid but non-academic cineaste well. … I finish the book feeling that the limits of my world are the limits of what I can know … . A historical and philosophical work then, too. Highly recommended.” (Steve Hanson, manchesterreviewofbooks.wordpress.com, November, 2018)
