This intriguing book does not offer foolproof solutions to avoid confusion but instead encourages readers to examine the elements that cause disorientation. By conducting close readings of four recent films, including David Lynch's INLAND EMPIRE (2006), Leos Carax's Holy Motors (2012), Pedro Costa's Colossal Youth (2006), and Jean-Luc Godard's Goodbye to Language (2014), 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 mechanics of getting our bearings within a film and the potential discoveries that can arise from the experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 234 x 156 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781474462785\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dominic Lash","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44096236323066,"sku":"9781474462785","price":18.23,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1654869578635_book.jpg?v=1655301125","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/the-cinema-of-disorientation-inviting-confusions-9781474462785","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
