Books by K. Tester

Since the 1950s Eric Rohmer has been one of the major presences in French cinema as critic and director. This book is a sophisticated engagement with his work in which Keith Tester argues that Rohmer is not the naIve realist he is often claimed to be. Instead, his films are revealed as a sustained exercise in Catholic theology.

Zygmunt Bauman is one of the most important contemporary social thinkers. Bauman's work is put into its social and historical context, and it is shown why Bauman matters.
