Zusammenfassung:Offers the first sustained analysis of films about ageing and dementia through a temporal frameworkSignificantly broadens the field of work on ageing and cinema through a temporal perspectiveInterdisciplinary in focus, drawing from the fields of Film Studies, Cultural Studies, Performance Studies, Gerontology, and Dementia StudiesFocuses on eleven case study films about dementia from across a world of cinemas, from Hollywood to AsiaAgeing, Dementia and Time in Film: Temporal Performances offers the first sustained analysis of films about ageing and dementia through a temporal framework. Analysing the aesthetics of films like A Moment to Remember (2004), Memories of Tomorrow (2006) and Happy End (2017), Deng provides new insights into our understanding of how ageing is temporally produced, presented, received and interrogated in and through cinema.Bringing together Gilles Deleuze's philosophy of difference and ideas on time, and building on scholars like Alia Al-Saji, Henri Bergson, Bliss Cua Lim, and David Martin-Jones, the book develops a conceptual framework of relational change - of temporal performances - and suggests that everyone and everything experiences time differently
