With reference to thinkers such as Aristotle, Wittgenstein, Girard, Derrida and Cavell, it argues that Renoir's work engages with and elucidates some of the great philosophical questions. In particular the films are shown to reflect on the natures of murder and its links with desire, communitiy, ethics and the mystery of other minds." - TAKEN FROM BACK COVERISBN: 9781905674633Donation: donated by Senses of Cinema, 2012Contents: Film as philosophy: Cavell, Deleuze, Z iz ek and Renoir -- Scepticism and the mystery of other minds: La chienne -- Murderous desires: Le crime de Monsieur Lange and La be^te humaine -- Friendship, fraternity and community: La grande illusion -- Making and breaking rules: La re`gle du jeu -- Conclusion: intimations of otherness.
