Description

Explore the profound connection between film and human thought with Philosophy, Myth and Epic Cinema: Beyond Mere Illusions. Published by Rowman & Littlefield, this work examines how cinema functions as a powerful force in shaping cultural ideas and values. Sylvie Magerstadt investigates the long-standing philosophical debate regarding the relationship between art, illusion, and reality. As digital technologies continue to change how movies are made, this book explores how these technological shifts have moved the conversation into a new era. Rather than viewing film as simple entertainment, the text treats cinema as a system of stories and values. By comparing film to grand narratives like religion and mythology, the author presents cinema as a form of postmodern mythmaking. This book is an essential resource for those interested in film history, criticism, and the philosophical impact of the moving image on modern society.
