"An extremely lucid and nearly seamless analysis of both of Deleuze's cinema books." -- Charles Stivale, Wayne State University"After these books are published, there will be no need for anyone else to write a how-to-understand-Deleuze book. The clarity of the prose, the careful explanation of each difficult and important concept, and the lack of any jargon whatsoever make this the definitive commentary on Deleuze." -- Dorothea Olkowski, University of Colorado"...the first and best exegesis in English of Cinema 1 and Cinema 2." -- Tom Conley, Harvard University
