‘Going back to Plato, Kant, Nietzsche and Heidegger, Marmysz traces
a philosophical genealogy of nihilism, and discusses the way film
is always essentially nihilistic and frequently thematically nihilistic.
The range of case studies is interesting, as Marmysz considers works
*
that have received a great deal of attention alongside works and
trends that have gotten short shrift. So there are chapters on
Yukio Mishima, skinhead films and Scottish cinema, as well as
interesting re-reads of Romero’s zombie trilogy, Videodrome, Fight
Club, The Human Centipede and so on.Thought provoking and rich,
Cinematic Nihilism reintroduces philosophy into film criticism in a
language that is at once accessible and comprehensive.’
M+
Joan Hawkins, Indiana University
Exposing and illustrating how an ongoing engagement with nihilistic
alienation may contribute to - rather than detract from - the value
of life, Cinematic Nihilism both challenges and builds upon past
scholarship that has scrutinised nihilism in the media, but which
has generally over-emphasised its negative and destructive aspects.
Through case studies of popular films, including Prometheus, The Dark
* ■ i v
Knight Rises, Dawn of the Dead and The Human Centipede, and with
chapters on Scotland’s cinematic portrayal as both a site of‘nihilistic
sacrifice’ and as ‘nowhere in particular’, this book presents a necessary
corrective, re-emphasising the constructive potential of cinematic
nihilism and casting it as a phenomenon that need not be overcome.
