The Filmgoer's Guide To God

by CAWKWELL

The Filmgoer's Guide to God is an elegant exploration of how film, the dominant art form of the twentieth century, has treated religious themes. Against the turbulent backdrop of a century of total war, of genocide, of utter cynicism, Tim Cawkwell outlines how the new medium of film mirrored and shaped these troubled narratives and offered fresh perspectives on the crisis of faith.
Tim Cawkwell's study takes in a wide range of European and American cinema and focuses in detail on the particular contribution of four Bresson, Dreyer, Rossellini and Tarkovsky.
