Mapping the global diversity of this cinematic thinking, this book greatly expands upon the range of films discussed in Deleuze's Cinema books.

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
