Terrence Malicks four feature films have been celebrated by critics and adored as instant classics among film aficionados; but the body of critical literature devoted to them has remained surprisingly small in comparison to Malicks stature in the world of contemporary film. Each of the essays in Terrence Malick: Film and Philosophy is grounded in film studies; philosophical inquiry; and the emerging field of scholarship that combines the two disciplines. Malicks films are also open to other angles; notably phenomenological; deconstructive; and Deleuzian approaches to film; all of which are evidenced in this collection. Terrence Malick: Film and Philosophy engages with Malicks body of work in distinct and independently significant ways: by looking at the tradition within which Malick works; the creative orientation of the filmmaker; and by discussing the ways in which criticism can illuminate these remarkable films.

I only wish more was given to the items inside the icon and their meaning.20 of 20 people found the following review helpful. Informative and InspirationalBy Robert K. WarskiI read "The Language of Icons" with the intention of learning more about the mode of religious art most characteristic of Eastern Christianity. The book far exceeded my expectations. I learned more about icons than I ever would have hoped. The reproductions of representative icons were beautiful and luminous. Moreover; the text was deeply spiritual and inspiring. The reader is drawn to meditate on the Christian message that the icons symbolize. There are books that are informative and books that are inspiring. This book manages to be both.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. ExcellentBy Kathi C.Excellent book on icons.
