Description: This ambitious and wide-ranging book offers a redefinition of suspense by considering its unlikely incarnations in the contemporary films that have been called "slow cinema."
Review Quotes: The Rebirth of Suspense offers a lucid and original contribution to the study of both suspense in general and how it operates in varieties of slow cinema. Rick Warner adds significantly to our understanding of different dimensions of suspense and hybrid effects in cinema that complicate oppositions between mainstream and arthouse approaches.--Geoff King, author of Arthouse Crime Scenes: Art Film, Genre and Crime in Contemporary World Cinema
