This book comprises what may be called exercises in 'comparative
cinema'. Its focus on endings, near-endings and 'late style' is
connected with the author's argument that comparative criticism
itself may constitute an endgame of criticism, arising at the
moment at which societies or individuals relinquish primary
adherence to one tradition or medium. The comparisons embrace
different works and artistic media and primarily concern works of
literature and film, though they also consider issues raised by the
interrelationship of language and moving and still images, as well
as inter- and intra-textuality. The works probed most fully are
ones by Theo Angelopoulos, Ingmar Bergman, Harun Farocki, Theodor
Fontane, Henry James, Krzysztof Kieslowski, Chang-dong Lee, Roman
Polanski, Thomas Pynchon, and Paul Schrader, while the key
recurrent motifs are those of dusk, the horizon, the labyrinth, and
the ruin.
