From his landmark book Hitchcock: The Murderous Gaze, now in its second edition, to the essays collected here in Tuitions and Intuitions, Rothman has been guided by two intuitions: first, that his kind of film criticism is philosophy; and second, that such a marriage of criticism and philosophy has an essential part to play in the serious study of film. In this book, he aspires, borrowing a formulation from Emerson, to \"pay the tuition\" for these intuitions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThoughtful, philosophically sophisticated, and provocative, the essays included here address a wide range of films, including classical Hollywood movies; the work of \"auteur\" directors like Alfred Hitchcock, George Cukor, Yasujirō Ozu, and Woody Allen; performances by John Barrymore and James Stewart; unconventional works by Jean Genet, Chantal Akerman, Terrence Malick, and the Dardenne brothers; the television series Justified; and documentaries by Jean Rouch, Ross McElwee, and Robert Gardner. All the essays address questions of philosophical significance and, taken together, manifest Rothman's lifelong commitment when writing about a film, to respect the film's own ideas; to remain open to the film's ways of expressing its ideas; and to let the film help teach him how to view it, how to think about it, and how to discover what he has at heart to say about it.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"State University of New York Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48989228105963,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":190.44,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.sg\/products\/9781438475790","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Singapore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
