The Intervals of Cinema

Praise for Jacques Rancière:“Whether detailing Bela Tarr’s signature panning shots or the role of flames in Vincente Minnelli, Rancière is a passionate and acute cinephile.” —Alberto Toscano, Film Quarterly“Rancière’s writings offer one of the few conceptualizations of how we are to continue to resist.” —Slavoj Žižek“His art lies in the rigor of his argument—its careful, precise unfolding—and at the same time not treating his reader, whether university professor or unemployed actress, as an imbecile.” —Kristin Ross“In the face of impossible attempts to proceed with progressive ideas within the terms of postmodernist discourse, Rancière shows a way out of the malaise.” —Liam Gillick
