Did the 1990s see cinema, as a medium and collective experience, become subsumed into a converging universe of multiple-media? Does our understanding of "cinema" need to be reconsidered to accommodate emerging digital possibilities for the moving image? In Light Readings, leading critic Chris Darke revisits his writing addressing these important questions. The book is divided into three sections which reflect Darke's ongoing interests--contemporary art cinema, French cinema, and the overlapping territories of film, video, and the art gallery.

2005 is the fortieth anniversary of Alphaville's release. Chris Darke writes about how, working without sets, special effects, or even a script, Godard made a dystopian vision of a technocratic future city. He explores the film's unique combination of genres and styles, and its remarkable creation, the secret agent Lemmy Caution.

Chris Darke's study places Chris Marker's 'La Jetee' (1962) in its political, cultural and cinematic context, and provides a detailed analysis of its formal and stylistic elements, particularly Marker's use of still photography, references to other films, including Hitchcock's 'Vertigo', and its influence on other time-travel narratives.
