Metafilm

Exploring the paradoxical rhetoric in visual culture, the book delves into how films engage viewers with violent narratives while questioning ethical implications. Analyzing works by directors like Michael Haneke and Ryan Coogler, it examines the interplay of personal conflict with themes of warfare, labor exploitation, and racism across various genres. The author emphasizes how these films reflect on their own construction and distribution, highlighting the material design and economic aspects of rhetoric that often go unnoticed in mainstream cinema.
