«This is an exciting book which offers a lucid argument about contemporary limit cinema’s interrogation of the human and its relationships with nature and the non-human. By bringing the philosophy of Georges Bataille into dialogue with recent scholarly debates about the Anthropocene, Limit Cinema develops an original and compelling critical framework for thinking about the limits of the human, and for reflecting on cinema’s role in exposing us to ethical perspectives and encounters beyond anthropocentric reality. An essential contribution to contemporary film philosophy.»
