{"product_id":"terrence-malick-filmmaker-and-philosopher-9781350063648","title":"Terrence Malick: Filmmaker and Philosopher","description":"Many critics have approached Terrence Malick's work from a philosophical perspective, arguing that his films express philosophy through cinema. With their remarkable images of nature, poetic voiceovers, and meditative reflections, Malick's cinema certainly invites philosophical engagement. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eTerrence Malick: Filmmaker and Philosopher\u003c\/i\u003e, Robert Sinnerbrink takes a different approach, exploring Malick's work as a case of cinematic ethics: films that evoke varieties of ethical experience, encompassing existential, metaphysical, and religious perspectives. Malick's films are not reducible to a particular moral position or philosophical doctrine; rather, they solicit ethically significant forms of experience, encompassing anxiety and doubt, wonder and awe, to questioning and acknowledgment, through aesthetic engagement and poetic reflection. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Drawing on a range of thinkers and approaches from Heidegger and Cavell, Nietzsche and Kierkegaard, to phenomenology and moral psychology Sinnerbrink explores how Malick's films respond to the problem of nihilism the loss of conviction or belief in prevailing forms of value and meaning and the possibility of ethical transformation through cinema: from self-transformation in our relations with others to cultural transformation via our attitudes towards towards nature and the world. Sinnerbrink shows how Malick's later films, from \u003ci\u003eThe Tree of Life\u003c\/i\u003e to \u003ci\u003eVoyage of Time\u003c\/i\u003e, provide unique opportunities to explore cinematic ethics in relation to the crisis of belief, the phenomenology of love, and film's potential to invite moral transformation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robert Sinnerbrink\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Academic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/11\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeries:\u003c\/b\u003e Philosophical Filmmakers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.40w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350063648","brand":"Bloomsbury Academic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42711359422601,"sku":"9781350063648","price":32.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_3bb42314-3062-4b86-a4dd-329137cff577.jpg?v=1719567864","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/terrence-malick-filmmaker-and-philosopher-9781350063648","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
