Review of Contempt (1963) by Francis C — 11 Sep 2007
An extraordinarily evocative meditation on cinema in and as a modern form of life. "What we wish to see in this way is the world itself - that is to say, everything. Nothing less than that is what modern philosophy has told us (whether for Kant's reasons, or for Locke's, or Hume's) is metaphysically beyond our reach or (as Hegel or Marx or Kierkegaard or Nietzsche might rather put it) beyond our reach metaphysically.
