Reviews
Theoretically sophisticated and deeply invested in close textual analysis, this book will appeal most to those with an interest in philosophical approaches to cinema. * D Herbert, CHOICE *
We all know meta when we see it, but up until now few have attempted to define it. This terrific book, comprising essays from both established and emerging scholars, is a welcome corrective to that oversight, and a vital addition to contemporary film and media theory. * Catherine Wheatley, Reader in Film and Visual Culture, King's College London *
