Description

This collection of essays by Peter Gidal explores key concepts in film theory and aesthetics. Topics include metaphor, narrative, and the representation of sex, with discussions of works by notable artists such as Samuel Beckett, Thérèse Oulton, Gerhard Richter, and Andy Warhol.

Gidal's writing is marked by a strong political and polemical approach, reflecting his experience as an experimental filmmaker and educator. His work has been influential in the development of British avant-garde cinema since the late 1960s.
