Love in the Time of Cinema offers close analyses of films in which attachment and detachment, intimacy and distance, ephemera and endurance--all components of cinematic time and love--might become more visible and meaningful. Kristi McKim studies theories of time as history, narrative, modernity and mortality; love as romance, cinephilia and photogenie; and film in terms of close-ups, genre and spectatorship. Including chapters on Wim Wenders' Wings of Desire, Agnes Varda's Jacquot de Nantes and The Beaches of Agnes, Hirokazu Kore-eda's After Life and Still Walking, Doris Dorrie's Cherry Blossoms, and Olivier Assayas' Summer Hours, this book illustrates how both love and cinema enliven familiar forms, heighten our attention, and teach us to learn to love what passes and find meaning in what endures.
