Rushton, Richard Deleuze and Lola Montès (1501345761)

Gilles Deleuze represents the most widely referenced theorist of cinema today. And yet, even the most rudimentary pillars of his thought remain mysterious to most students (and even many scholars) of film studies. <br/><i><br/></i>From one of the foremost theorists following Deleuze in the world today, <i>Deleuze and</i><i>Lola Montès</i>offers a detailed explication of Gilles Deleuze's writings on film - from his books <i>Cinema 1: The Movement-Image</i>(1983) and <i>Cinema 2: The Time-Image</i> (1985). Building on this foundation, Rushton provides an interpretation of Max Ophuls's classic film <i>Lola Montès</i> as an example of how Deleuzian film theory can function in the practice of film interpretation.
