It may be a ‘Concise Companion’ but there is nothing skimped here; instead, the collection is as rich and provocative as one could imagine and as exhilarating as the films themselves.” \u003ci\u003ePeter Holland, University of Notre Dame\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e“The essays are superbly interwoven with the overall structure of the volume.

All that rethinking done in the past years has been appropriately summarized and expanded in this magnificent volume. It presents enough material to “keep making sense of our subject, and await the next viewing”. What more could one ask for?
