How does cinema function as a means of ethical resistance and thought? Focusing on Alain Resnais and Chris Marker's cinemas, Boljkovac uses the philosophy of Gilles Deleuze to ask how cinema can enable us to see and act in an ethical way. It offers a new perspective on the relationships between poststructuralist philosophy, ethics and modern cinema. It reads and analyses the cinematic medium itself through concepts of affect, sensation and actual virtual violence.
