Gerard Loughlin is one of the leading theologians working at the
interface between religion and contemporary culture. In this
exceptional work, he uses cinema and the films it shows to think
about the church and the visions of desire it displays.
Discusses various films, including the Alien quartet, Christopher
Nolan's Memento, Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey and A
Clockwork Orange, Nicolas Roeg's The Man Who 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 and
Hans Urs von Balthasar to Andre Bazin and Leo Bersani.
Uses cinema to think about the church as an ecclesiacinema, and
films to think about sexual desire as erotic dispossession, as a
way into the life of God.
Written from a radically orthodox Christian perspective, at once
both Catholic and critical.
