'Christopher Grau has assembled a series of essays that do something more than simply testify to the power of a memorable film. In an era in which memory itself has come to have an increasingly important place in cultural production and in philosophy, this collection promises to be an invaluable resource.' - Frances Ferguson, Johns Hopkins University'Reading these essays opens fascinating vistas on one of the most philosophically interesting films of the decade - a veritable ethical and epistemological feast. A terrific addition to a new and top-notch series.' - Lawrence Blum, University of Massachusetts, Boston'This is a fascinating collection of insightful and accessible essays on a film that raises many important philosophical issues, such as memory, love, desire, and value. The essays both illuminate the film and also the topics themselves, which are of perennial interest. Highly recommended!' - John M. Fischer, University of California, Riverside
