Gilles Deleuze was one of the most influential figures in twentieth-century philosophy, whose master-works, Difference and Repetition and – with Felix Guattari – A Thousand Plateaus and Anti-Oedipus have become one of the most widely influential bodies of work in contemporary thought.

Cinema II is Deleuze’s second work on cinema, completing the reassessment of the art form begun in Cinema I. Influenced by the philosophy of Henri Bergson, Deleuze here offers a compelling analysis of the cinematic treatment of time and memory, thought and speech.

The work draws on examples from major filmmakers, including Federico Fellini, Alfred Hitchcock, and Orson Welles, among many others.

Cinema II by Gilles Deleuze is viewed as a philosophical exploration rather than traditional film criticism. Reviews highlight Deleuze's examination of cinema's evolution from the classical movement-image to the modern time-image, offering insights into semiotics and ideology. The book is recognised for its challenging yet rewarding content, demanding a deep knowledge of film and philosophy, and it provides original conceptual tools for understanding cinema beyond linguistic constraints.
