Jean-Luc Godard and Filipino director Kidlat Tahimik also believe in cinema's ability to bring about what Theodor W. Adorno once called a "redeemed world," even in the face of new cultural and technological challenges. In three groundbreaking essays, Christopher Pavsek showcases these utopian visions, drawing attention to their strengths, weaknesses, and undeniable impact on film's political evolution. Pavsek approaches Godard, Tahimik, and Kluge as thinkers first, situating their films within debates over social revolution, utopian ideals, and the unrealized potential of utopian thought and action. He replays the battle these artists waged against Hollywood interests, the seduction of other digital media, and the privileging of mass entertainment over cinema's progressive, revolutionary roots. 600 10 Godard, Jean-Luc,|d1930-|xCriticism and interpretation. 600 10 Tahimik, Kidlat|xCriticism and interpretation. 600 10 Kluge, Alexander,|d1932-|xCriticism and interpretation. 650 0 Motion pictures|xPhilosophy. 830 0 Film and culture. 935 .o1628821x 954 20141024|bMarcive Authority Bib 956 20130724|bPRVY 957 OCLC xref loaded 20161113 994 92|bCUY
