Cinema, Religion and the Romantic Legacy surveys the ways in which
notions of religion and spirituality have impinged upon the cinema.
Cinema is conceived as a post-Romantic form for which religion and
spirituality can be unified only problematically. While inspecting
many of the well-established themes and topoi of writing on
religion and film (such as films about priests and
'Christ-figures') it also seeks to problematize them, focusing
primarily upon the issues of religious representation foregrounded
by such European directors as Kieslowski and Godard. Coates draws
on theories of theologians, philosophers and cultural and literary
critics including: Otto, Kant, Schiller and Girard. Addressing the
relationship between religion and spirituality from a film studies
specialist's perspective, this book offers all those concerned with
film, media or religious studies an invaluable examination of
artistic interaction with the theological and aesthetic issues of
representation and representability. Paul Coates is Reader in Film
Studies at the University of Aberdeen, Scotland, and author of many
books including: The Gorgon's Gaze (CUP), Film at the Intersection
of High and Mass Culture (CUP), The Story of the Lost Reflection
(Verso).
