Zusatztext Sinnerbrink’s book will add a dose of welcome scepticism to anyone embarking on the consideration of some recent developments in anglophone film studies... Sinnerbrink injects life into his consideration of the cognitivists by means of adroit illustration from examples of his own choosing which display a cinephile’s reservoir of resources – not always something that can be said of commentators content to use the same filmic examples as do their sources. This aspect is one of the many pleasures of Sinnerbrink’s addition to the growing body of work in this field.
