Description de l'ouvrage :
A comprehensive study of Raymond Bellour, one of the most important foundational theorists of Film Studies

One of the most influential figures in French film philosophy, Raymond Bellour’s interests range across cinema, art, literature and philosophy, and his work sits at the critical juncture between the cinematic experience in the period of classical cinema to the new forms of spectatorship ushered in by digital media in the 21st century. With a succinct account of Bellour’s oeuvre, this book provides a generous introduction to his ideas on cinema, an annotated bibliography of his work, and a six-chapter translation of a substantial and wide-ranging interview previously unavailable in English. Providing a clear, systematic account of the evolution of Bellour’s thought on the nature of cinematic representation, the impact of digital technology and the response of the spectator, this is an essential guide to the work of a major contemporary thinker.

Key features
• Provides a clear, systematic exposition of the evolution of Bellour’s thought over 60 years
• Makes available in an English translation a hitherto unpublished interview with Bellour from 2015
• Includes an annotated bibliography, with brief abstracts of all of his books and most important articles

Revue de Presse :
Cinema and the Moving Image is a timely appreciation of Raymond Bellour, seminal critic and writer who has defined the art of film theory and analysis. Radner's meticulous study of the evolution of Bellour's style and manner that includes his embrace of classical cinema, video art and mixed media gives way to a hitherto untranslated interview in which Bellour discusses a gamut of his writings. Rounded out by Alistair Fox's biography and bibliography, the book is an invaluable contribution to film studies and a point of reference for work in literature and visual media.– Professor Tom Conley, Harvard University
