Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Since 2001, Trevor Lynch has garnered a fervent following for his frankly Right-wing treatment of philosophical, political, racial, and sexual themes in film and television. The Best of Trevor Lynch collects sixteen of his most important essays covering David Lean's The Bridge on the River Kwai, Lawrence of Arabia, and Doctor Zhivago, Akria Kurosawa's Rashomon, Federico Fellini's La Dolce Vita, Luchino Visconti's The Leopard, Sergio Leone's Once Upon a Time in the West, David Lynch's Blue Velvet, John Ford's The Searchers and The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight Trilogy, David Fincher's Fight Club, Paul Schrader's Mishima, Sidney Lumet's Network, Quentin Tarrantino's Pulp Fiction, and Zack Snyder's Watchmen.'Trevor Lynch is a master of using philosophy to illuminate films and films to illuminate philosophy: Plato, Hegel, and Kojève to interpret Pulp Fiction; Heidegger, Nietzsche, and Traditionalism to understand The Dark Knight Trilogy; Carl Schmitt and René Girard to make sense of Lawrence of Arabia, and so forth, one tour de force after another. This volume demonstrates why Trevor Lynch has inspired a whole school of New Right cultural criticism. I give it four stars.'-Derek Hawthorne, author of Being and 'The Birds' or: Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Heidegger (But Were Afraid to Ask Hitchcock).…
