Contra la cinefilia

From his own overflowing cinephile experience, Vicente Monroy develops in this essay an exciting history of the myths of cinephilia and its fundamental arguments, of the multiple ways in which cinema, that young art but always in crisis, has come to make your lovers sick. From Orson Welles to Martin Scorsese, passing through the Cahiers du Cinéma or Serge Daney, but also dialoguing with the history of philosophy and literature, Monroy manages to build in these pages an elegant synthesis of the deepest ideas and polemics that have been given on cinema and its historical significance.
