Reviews for Slow Cinema
In Slow Cinema, editors Tiago de Luca and Nuno Barradas Jorge explore the emergence of the titular 'slow cinema' as an aesthetic category that animates a particular sense of cinematic time and duration, placing emphasis on introspection, reflection and contemplation... the volume is especially illuminating when underscoring an integral link between slow cinema, the non-human and ecocinema.
