Corinne Maury renews film studies in depth, revealing the inseparable aesthetic and political perspective of a cinematographic creation in tune with our tormented history. The Sense of Place in Contemporary Cinema is a truly engaged book that makes space an operator of duration, where images of spaces promote the conquest of an emancipated time or in the process of being so. --Dork Zabunyan, University of Paris
