Review Quotes:

To the extend that Cavell's training in philosophy and the Whitmanesque poetry of his prose stand as barriers between readers and his accomplishments, the careful explications of those accomplishments provided by Rothman and Keane are deeply hopeful signs that film study is finally ready for Cavell. It's high time.
