Deleuze and Film explores how different films from around the world 'think' about topics like history, national identity, geopolitics, ethics, gender, genre, affect, religion, surveillance culture, digital aesthetics and the body. Greatly expanding on the range of films discussed in Deleuze's 'Cinema' books, the contributors look at Asian films including 'Godzilla', American film noir, European art films like 'Red Road', documentaries including the animated 'Waltz with Bashir' and Hollywood CGI Blockbusters such as 'Hellboy'.
Deleuze and Film presents a rich collection of essays that takes Deleuze's work on cinema out of its dominant Eurocentric corpus. Taking us on an inspiring world tour of film analysis and creative conceptual thinking, this book testifies to the continuing productive generosity of Deleuze's film-philosophy, and includes a dynamic range and depth of film scholarship. -- Patricia Pisters, Professor of Media and Film Studies, University of Amsterdam

This book testifies to the continuing vitality of Gilles Deleuze's Cinema volumes: they still offer resources to film scholars and theorists today even when they are working on the sorts of films that Deleuze himself never commented on. -- Steven Shaviro, DeRoy Professor of English, Wayne State University
