Description: "This book is at once a detailed study of a range of individual filmmakers and an exploration of the modernism in which they are situated. It consists of fifty categories arranged in alphabetical order, among which are allegory, bricolage, classicism, contradiction, desire, destructuring and writing each category, though autonomous, interacts, intersects and juxtaposes with the others, entering into a dialogue with them and in so doing creates corrections, illuminations, associations and rhymes which may not have arisen in a more conventional framework."
