DELEUZE AND WORLD CINEMAS

Deleuze's Cinema books continue to cause controversy. Although they offer radical new ways of understanding cinema, his conclusions often seem strikingly Eurocentric. Deleuze and World Cinemas explores what happens when Deleuze's ideas are brought into contact wit h the films he did not discuss, those from Europe and the USA (from Georges Méliès to Michael Mann) and a range of world cinemas - i ncluding Bollywood blockbusters, Hong Kong action movies, Argentine melodramas and South Korean science fiction movies.
