Reviews
Writ on Water aims to do no less than reignite questions about what is the film imagination, and how does it provoke our questioning--philosophizing even--on the nature of the human condition as expressed in cinema? Warren draws on his own personal responses to the films under discussion to demonstrate the point of the argument: that one cannot ignore one's subjective response to the influence of cinema. It is, in this way, a powerful statement on the nature of film and film spectatorship. -- Daniel Varndell, author of Hollywood Remakes, Deleuze and the Grandfather Paradox, " Writ on Water aims to do no less than reignite questions about what is the film imagination, and how does it provoke our questioning--philosophizing even--on the nature of the human condition as expressed in cinema?

Synopsis
This eloquent book draws on the author's responses to a wide range of extraordinary films-"long takes" on Altman's , Godard's , Makavejev's , and von Sternberg's , as well as "short takes" on films by Jean Rouch, Chris Marker, Chantal Akerman, Ross McElwee, Michelangelo Antonioni, Michael Haneke, and Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne. Charles Warren's masterful close readings blend profound philosophical reflections with a treasure trove of literary and artistic references to place film, in its relations to other arts, as one of the greatest aesthetic forms. Collectively, these essays offer an original and powerful statement on the nature of film and the intimate relation of what the author calls "film imagination" to our lives as human beings in the world. This important and much-needed book is no less than a celebration and affirmation of the very discipline of film criticism.
