Badiou and Cinema - Ling, Alex (Research Lecturer in Communication and Media Studies, University of Western Sydney)

This book offers an in-depth examination of cinema and its philosophical significance. Alex Ling employs the philosophy of Alain Badiou to answer the question central to all serious film scholarship - namely, 'can cinema be thought?' - using films ranging from Hiroshima mon amour to Vertigo to The Matrix to illustrate Badiou's philosophy.
