Deleuze and Film

In the first book-length introduction to Deleuze's work<br/>on film from a feminist perspective Teresa Rizzo ranges across Deleuze's books<br/>on Cinema his other writings and feminist re-workings of his philosophy to<br/>re-think the film viewing experience. More than a commentary on Deleuze's books<br/>on Cinema Rizzo's work addresses a significant gap in film theory building a<br/>bridge between the spectatorship studies and apparatus theories of the 1970s <br/>and new theorisations of the cinematic experience. Developing a concept of a<br/>'cinematic assemblage' the book focuses on affective<br/>and intensive connections between film and viewer. Through a<br/>careful analysis of a range of film texts and genres that have been important<br/>to feminist film scholarship such as the Alien<br/>series and the modern horror film Rizzo puts Deleuze's key concepts to<br/>work in exciting new ways.
