- More about Cinema of Disorientation: Inviting Confusions
The Cinema of Disorientation explores how we get (or fail to get) our bearings with respect to a film, and what we might discover by doing so. It offers original close readings of four important recent films and argues that the best way to come to terms with our confusion is to look closely at what is confusing us and why.

Narrative films can be both captivating and perplexing, leaving viewers feeling disoriented and confused. This intriguing book does not offer foolproof solutions to avoid confusion but instead encourages us to examine the elements that cause it. By conducting close readings of four recent films, INLAND EMPIRE (2006) by David Lynch, HOLY MOTORS (2012) by Leos Carax, COLOSSAL YOUTH (2006) by Pedro Costa, and GOOD BYE TO LANGUAGE (2014) by Jean-Luc Godard, the book explores the ways in which we navigate films and the insights we can gain from the process. The writing is clear and accessible, yet it also displays critical and theoretical boldness. The Cinema of Disorientation: Inviting Confusions delves into the complexities of film viewing, offering valuable insights into how we establish our bearings within a film and the discoveries we can make along the way.
