Publisher Description: This book offers a new methodology for examining the ethico-political dimensions of religion and film which foregrounds film's social power both to shape subjectivity and to image contemporary social contradictions and analyses three specific films: Kurosawa's Dersu Uzala; Kiarostami's Taste of Cherry; and the Coens' The Man Who Wasn't There . |
