Summary: | "Malevolence (and its causes) has been central to film since its inception; the birth of film coinciding with a fascination with crime, death, murder, horror, etc. Films which address the problem of evil, however, are less frequent and fewer in quantity; especially films which respond to a body of thought -- philosophical or theological -- which has deliberated on the topic of evil over the centuries. Cinema and Evil: Moral Responsibility and the "Dangerous" Film addresses these films. It explores the legacy of evil from Manicheanism to Arendt, assessing the alternative definitions offered by philosophers, theologians and writers per se, on its problematic status."--Publisher website.
