“The organizational structure is superb, as the concepts they’ve
isolated seem excitingly to cut to the heart of Reichardt’s motifs.
. . . These pages dazzlingly force their readers-as Reichardt’s
films force their viewers their viewers- to reflect on the
political implications of our empathy, or lack thereof, to imagine
other kinds of relationships beyond empathy and
judgment."--Cineaste
"Kelly Reichardt remains well-reasoned and persuasive throughout in
its detail and conviction, casting a keen eye towards the context
of Reichardt's career, both in film and in the wider
socio-political landscape. Perhaps most importantly of all, it is a
tribute to and analysis of an invaluable, distinctively modern
American director." --Historical Journal of Film, Radio, and
Television
"Fusco and Seymour's book offers a satisfyingly complex approach to
the political import of her [Reichardt's] contributions to
contemporary cinema." --ASAP Journal
"An engaging and thoughtful book. Fusco and Seymour persuasively
use political theory and affect studies to analyze Reichardt's
unique deployment of realist traditions and the politics of
temporality in her films. The authors' striking insights illuminate
the filmmaker's style and her importance not only in contemporary
art and indie cinema spheres but for American cinema more
broadly."—Elena Gorfinkel, coeditor of Taking Place: Location and
the Moving Image
