Kenneth Lonergan's three films-You Can Count on Me (2000), Margaret
(2011), and Manchester by the Sea (2016)-are rife with
philosophical complexities. They challenge simple philosophical
approaches to central issues of human behaviour. In particular,
they ask questions about how to cope with suffering that one cannot
overcome, the role that self- deception plays in people's lives and
how to think about characters who do not embody simplistic moral
ideas of virtue and vice. By philosophically engaging with these
themes as they unfold in Lonergan's films, we are then able to
formulate a more nuanced answer to the questions they pose. Kenneth
Lonergan: Philosophical Filmmaker will draw from Lonergan's films
and plays, along with the philosophical literature on the topics
that they explore. The rich history of philosophical reflection
surrounding these areas enables the reader to determine how the
themes central to Lonergan's work have combined to create a rich
cinematic oeuvre.
