Gilles Deleuze was one of the most influential figures in twentieth-century philosophy whose
master-works Difference and Repetition and - with Felix Guattari - A Thousand Plateaus and
Anti-Oedipus have become one of the most widely-influential bodies of work in contemporary
thought . Cinema II is Deleuze's second work on cinema completing the reassessment of the
art form begun in Cinema I . Influenced by the philosophy of Henri Bergson Deleuze here offers
a compelling analysis of the cinematic treatment of time and memory thought and speech. The
work draws on examples from major film makers including Federico Fellini Alfred Hitchcock and
Orson Welles among many others.
