Review Quotes:
"This book opens up Cavell's work to new films, and thus it makes an important contribution to the reception of Cavell's work among film scholars and philosophers alike. It is also the most sustained and engaging attempt to read Cavell alongside Deleuze, offering an original argument on the many philosophical issues both writers commit their work to." - Daniele Rugo, author of Philosophy and the Patience of Film in Cavell and Nancy
