Deleuze and Lola Monts

Gilles Deleuze represents the most widely referenced theorist of cinema today. And yet, even the most rudimentary pillars of his thought remain mysterious to most students (and even many scholars) of film studies. From one of the foremost theorists following Deleuze in the world today, Deleuze and Lola Monts offers a detailed explication of Gilles Deleuzes writings on film from his books Cinema 1: The Movement-Image (1983) and Cinema 2: The Time-Image (1985). Building on this foundation, Rushton provides an interpretation of Max Ophulss classic film Lola Monts as an example of how Deleuzian film theory can function in the practice of film interpretation.
