Recenzje

Breathing Bazin—taking in all his writings—Angela Dalle Vacche now exhales his singular, commodious spirit. Seizing on the ingenious metaphors that crystallize his vast knowledge of the arts, sciences and theology, she demonstrates through uncommon examples how, for this 'tragic optimist,' the camera's cold stare, its 'anti-anthropocentrism'; can produce a profound and touching humanism, fostering an ethical rapport with the earth and all its creatures that we need today more than ever.
