"The structure and clarity of this book is superb. ... The point to make is that this book is as useful to film studies as it is to literature studies and politics. It would also serve a more avid but non-academic cineaste well. ... I finish the book feeling that the limits of my world are the limits of what I can know ... . A historical and philosophical work then, too. Highly recommended." (Steve Hanson, manchesterreviewofbooks.wordpress.com, November, 2018)
