The films that D. A. Miller discovered in the 1960s and ’70s are now at his fingertips with DVDs and streaming media. In Second Time Around, Miller watches digitally restored films by directors from Mizoguchi to Pasolini and from Hitchcock to Honda, looking to find not only what he first saw in them but also what he was kept from seeing.

Horror Film and Otherness
Art Cinema and India’s Forgotten Futures
Adam Lowenstein
Film and History in the Postcolony
Rochona Majumdar
Adam Lowenstein offers a new account of horror and why it matters for understanding social otherness. He argues that horror films reveal how the category of the other is not fixed. Instead, the genre captures ongoing metamorphoses across “normal” self and “monstrous” other. $35.00 / £28.00 paper 978-0-231-20577-1
Rochona Majumdar examines key works of Indian art cinema to demonstrate how film emerged as a mode of doing history and that, in so doing, it anticipated some of the most influential insights of postcolonial thought. She analyzes the films of Satyajit Ray, Mrinal Sen, and Ritwik Ghatak as well as a host of film society publications.
