Summary
Dominique Chateau: Film and Philosophy
Film and Philosophy provides both a historical and critical overview of the influence of philosophy on film and testifies to a new phase in film theory.
The influence of philosophy on film can be read in three aspects: the representation of the figure of the philosopher in film art, attempts at film adaptations of philosophical texts and in the ability of film to philosophize.
Dominique Chateau synthesizes the contribution of Bergson, Benjamin, Eisenstein, Epstein, Bazen, Merleau-Ponty, Mitri, Cavell, Deleuze and Šefer, among others, while staying with those proposals of the philosophy of film that understand this medium as a historical phenomenon connected with modernity, as a field of specific expression or as an object of experience where philosophy and film are equally tested.
