Description

For well over a century, going to the movies has been a favorite pastime for billions across the globe.

But is film actually good for anything? This volume brings together thirty-six scholars, critics, and filmmakers in search of an answer.

Their responses range from the most personal to the most theoretical—and, together, recast current debates about film ethics.

Movie watching here emerges as a wellspring of value, able to sustain countless visions of "the good life." Films, these authors affirm, make us reflect, connect, adapt; they evoke wonder and beauty; they challenge and transform.

In a word, its varieties of value make film invaluable.
