Even though essay films have been a key practice since the 1950s,
there is scant analysis about this form in English. Part of this is
likely due to the inherent difficulty of definition. The films,
which foreground subjectivity and adopt an explicit, personal
approach to their subject matter, can look and feel very different
from one another. Their coherence as a group, however, comes into
focus when contextualized as part of the larger tradition from
which they draw. By looking to the literary and philosophical
lineage of the essay form, Corrigan brings new clarity to a
practice that, arguably, is one of the most common and successful
in contemporary film culture. The Essay Film situates its
investigation in the literary tradition of essayists such as
Montaigne, Barthes, and Huxley before moving to an expansive
discussion of filmmakers such as Derek Jarman, Allan Clark, Werner
Herzog, Harun Farocki, Chantal Akerman, Chris Marker, Errol Morris,
Nanni Moretti, Agnes Varda, Ross McElwee, Abbas Kiarostami, Raoul
Ruiz, Lynne Sachs, and Trinh T. Minh-ha.
