      abstract = {"Gilles Deleuze and Film Criticism is a remarkable  collection undertaking with spirit and intelligence to  grapple with what Trevor Mowchun calls the 'spates' of  criticism in the writings of one of the most challenging  thinkers on film. Every one of the individual forays  adeptly demonstrates the value of combining film analysis  with attentive meta-critical commentary and conceptual  elucidation of Deleuze's terms and tendencies. Aside from  the inherent interest of the essays themselves, this  volume's major contribution to film studies lies in its  potential to re-energise debate on a vital issue for the  discipline: namely, the relation between theory and  criticism." --Alex Clayton, Associate Professor in Film and  Television, University of Bristol, UK This book is the  first collection of essays to offer detailed examinations  of the role that close attention to individual films plays  in the philosopher Gilles Deleuzes work on cinema. In the  last two decades, Deleuze's two books on film have had an  enormous influence on Film Studies, profoundly affecting  thinking about movement, time, history, and other topics.  Theoretically ambitious and philosophically rich but  clearly written by a broad range of established and  emerging international film scholars, the chapters in this  volume will both contribute to, and in places challenge,  the vibrant field of Deleuzian film studies. Topics covered  range from the relationship of Deleuze to film criticism;  the role of theories of movement; and studies of works by  major filmmakers including Federico Fellini, Werner Herzog,  Vincente Minnelli, and Orson Welles. This book will be of  interest not only to specialists in Deleuze but to anybody  engaged with the close study of film and its philosophical  ramifications.
