As the director of Badlands; Days of Heaven; The Thin Red Line; and The New World; Terrence Malick has created a remarkable body of work that enables imaginative acts of philosophical interpretation. Steven Rybins Terrence Malick and the Thought of Film looks closely at the dialogue between Malicks films and our powers of thinking; showing how his work casts the philosophy of thinkers such as Stanley Cavell; Martin Heidegger; Walter Benjamin; Andreacute; Bazin; Edgar Morin; and Immanuel Kant in new cinematic light. With a special focus on how the voices of Malicks characters move us to thought; Terrence Malick and the Thought of Film offers new readings of his films and places Malicks work in the context of recent debates in the interdisciplinary field of film and philosophy. Rybin also provides a postscript on Malicks recently-released fifth film; The Tree of Life.

Je ladoreBy LHarriesIve read two other English translations of this play (by Neil Bartlett and Timberlake Wertenbaker); and I think that this is the best of them all. The language is updated to this century and decade; but not so much that there are colloquial phrases. This translation has a great flow and is perfect for any venue.This comedy by Marivaux is an extremely funny look at the battle of the sexes. Whether for a student production or a professional theater company; you cant go wrong with this play.4 of 5 people found the following review helpful. One of the more gems forgottenBy A CustomerMarivauxs comedy; The Dispute; is one of those wonderful classics which somehow got lost over time. It is as witty as any Oscar Wilde play and is fertile ground for duologues; perfect for scene auditions. Because of its relatively unknown status; The Dispute makes for a even better choice for a classical piece to present as it is a refreshing break away from overdone Shakespeare and Oscar Wilde plays.
