Projecting a Camera Language-Games in Film Theory

"Projecting a Camera is not the type of book you can read in a weekend and then put aside. It offers a daunting challenge to our everyday, intuitive understanding of film and theoretical concepts. Its scope, breadth of argument and insights into film theory are simply breathtaking. Like Deleuze 's two cinema books (1986, 1989), it may take the discipline several years to come to terms with Branigan 's innovative perspective, to implement his original insights, and rethink film studies along the lines he proposes."--Warren Buckland, New Review of Film and Television Studies
