If cinephilia represented an idealist view of the cinema in terms of the plumbing of its esthetic capacities for a quasireligious experience, the cult film of the 1970s retorted with an equally ritualistic antiesthetic, taking the principle of failure--on visual, cultural and political grounds--as its guiding logic. Like cinephilia, the relationship with photography can be rather morbid. Reprinted in Movie Mutations: The Changing Face of World Cinephilia, Jonathan Rosenbaum and Adrian Martin, eds. |
