About this product
Product Information
Visions of the Apocalypseexamines the cinema's fascination with the prospect of nuclear and/or natural annihilation, as seen in such films as Saving Private Ryan, Bowling for Columbine, We Were Soldiers, The Last Days of Man on Earthand numerous others. Encompassing both questions of physical and filmic mortality, this book is a meditation on the questions of time, memory and the cinema's seemingly unending appetite for spectacles of destruction.

Reviews
"Dixon takes on grand themes in this slim volume, no less than the 'end of cinema.'" -- Richard Ascarate, Film Quarterly, [Dixon's] analysis of films, many of them undeservedly neglected, is often enlightening; and his assessment of contemporary business practices in Hollywood is refreshing., "[Dixon's] analysis of films, many of them undeservedly neglected, is often enlightening; and his assessment of contemporary business practices in Hollywood is refreshing." -- Choice, "A dynamic and provocative new book, which challenges its readers with some unsettling arguments." -- Daniel Herbert, University of Southern California, film-philosophy.com, "Lucid and eloquent and a relatively easy read for those unaccustomed to film academia, Dixon's knowledge and reasoned argument provide an intelligent and endlessly fascinating examination of some of the key issues that face us as we confront an increasingly insecure future." -- Kirsty Fairclough, Pop Matters
