An audible approach to the cinema of Terrence Malick

What is it about?

Terrence Malick’s Unseeing Cinema invites the reader to open the experience and craft of cinema to possibilities beyond the form’s dominant codes of images and dialogue. Through expressions of “unseeing,” movies unfold the activity of thought given flight through their characters. Malick’s unseeing in particular is a gathering of memory and hearing that weaves philosophical themes of recollection, repetition, forgiveness and redemption. Working through ideas offered by philosophers such as Gilles Deleuze and Søren Kierkegaard, this book proposes new concepts for revitalizing what we consider the cinematic experience.
