Description
Gerard Loughlin is one of the leading theologians working at theinterface between religion and contemporary culture. In thisexceptional work, he uses cinema and the films it shows to thinkabout the church and the visions of desire it displays.
- Discusses various films, including the Alien quartet,Christopher Nolan's Memento, Stanley Kubrick's 2001: ASpace Odyssey and A Clockwork Orange, Nicolas Roeg's The ManWho Fell to Earth and Derek Jarman's The Garden.
- Draws on a wide range of authors, both ancient and modern,religious and secular, from Plato to Levinas, from Karl Barth andHans Urs von Balthasar to Andr Bazin and Leo Bersani.
- Uses cinema to think about the church as an ecclesiacinema, andfilms to think about sexual desire as erotic dispossession, as away into the life of God.
- Written from a radically orthodox Christian perspective, atonce both Catholic and critical.
