This fascinating book neither proposes foolproof methods for avoiding confusion; nor does it suggest that disorientation is always a virtue. Instead it argues that the best way to come to terms with our confusion is to look closely at exactly what is confusing us, and why. At the heart of the book are original close readings of four important recent films: David Lynch's \u003ci\u003eINLAND EMPIRE\u003c\/i\u003e (2006), Leos Carax's \u003ci\u003eHoly Motors\u003c\/i\u003e (2012), Pedro Costa's \u003ci\u003eColossal Youth \u003c\/i\u003e(2006) and Jean-Luc Godard's \u003ci\u003eGoodbye to Language\u003c\/i\u003e (2014). Clearly written but critically and theoretically bold, \u003ci\u003eThe Cinema of Disorientation: Inviting Confusions\u003c\/i\u003e explores both how we get (or fail to get) our bearings with respect to a film, and what we might discover by (and while) doing so.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dominic Lash\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1474462782\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781474462785\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Edinburgh University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/30\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.66lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.44d","brand":"Dominic Lash","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43945814982911,"sku":"9781474462785","price":27.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_40cd38c8-ab53-4ba9-9aa8-17af1925d7c5.jpg?v=1681509920","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-cinema-of-disorientation-dominic-lash-9781474462785","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
