Applies Badiou's philosophy to films such as Hiroshima Mon Amour, Vertigo and The Matrix. Alex Ling employs the philosophy of Alain Badiou to answer the question central to all serious film scholarship - namely, 'can cinema be thought?' In addressing this question, the author uses well-known films to illustrate Badiou's philosophy and to consider the ways in which his work can be extended, critiqued and reframed with respect to the medium of cinema.
