Exploring Film and Christianity: Movement as Immobility: Routledge Studies in Religion and Film

Editat de Rita Benis, Sérgio Dias Branco
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 29 noi 2024
This book examines the connections between film and Christianity, considering how films express and depict Christian faith and spirituality and provide experiences associated with it. The notion of movement as immobility (from Simone Weil) is employed to describe film and its images in motion. Its movements can reconnect us with the movements of the world, those motions in which a mysterious sense of order, what Weil calls ‘immobility’, arises. Film is understood as a privileged form to access inscrutable spiritual (in)visibilities that can be linked with Christian concepts and practices. The chapters in this volume offer new studies of hailed directors such as Andrei Tarkovsky and Robert Bresson combined with analyses of recent notable films including Terrence Malick’s Knight of Cups, Martin Scorsese’s Silence, and Denis Villeneuve’s Blade Runner 2049. Organised around the productive topics of theory, expression, depiction and experience, they make a valuable contribution to interdisciplinary research on film and Christianity.
