Description

Cinematic Geopolitics by Michael J. Shapiro explores how film reflects and shapes our understanding of the world. Drawing on his experience as a juror at film festivals, Shapiro examines the ways in which films can serve as counter-spaces to the violence and politics of our time. Through analysis of classic and contemporary films, including The Deer Hunter, The Battle of Algiers, Dirty Pretty Things, and The Fog of War, Shapiro explores the relationship between cinema and philosophy. This book is a cutting-edge examination of film and politics that will be essential reading for anyone interested in this topic. Shapiro's work draws on influential thinkers such as Gilles Deleuze and Jacques Ranciere, offering a unique perspective on the role of film in shaping our understanding of the world.
