“Deleuze and Cinema” is an extremely fine study of Deleuze’s film books. Comprehensive, rich in detail and widely informed, it deserves to become a central reference for both readers of Deleuze’s philosophy and students of cinema.

——Gregg Lambert, author of *The Non-Philosophy of Gilles Deleuze*

Deleuze always said that pedagogy ought to be a form of collaboration rather than imitation. Through reading with Deleuze, Bourg shows us how to learn from Deleuze—how to do things with Deleuze—without merely mimicking him. This book is exciting, engaging and brilliant and it sketches a clear pathway through some of the most beguiling work in film studies ever produced.

——Ian Buchanan, Professor at the University of Otago, author of *Deleuzism*

“Deleuze and Cinema” is the first excellent exegesis in English of *Cinema 1* and *Cinema 2*. Bourg’s exposition of Deleuze’s neo-Bergsonian conception of film, his rethinking of its basic elements (frame, shot, and montage), and his explication of film semiotics will become an essential reference for theorists and historians alike.
