High class book about Indian Cinema

Indian Cinema
by the french writer Dominique Aubier.

"The first edition of this book was hand delivered to
Shahrukh Khan during his visit to Paris the
26th of
april 2006."

"What are we living? What is Time trying to tell
us?"
The answer is found in the lyrical and convincing 7th
Art of Bombay. The genius found in Indian cinema
actually brings an original look at the work of the
mind, of being, of life. But is Western thought
prepared to understand the stories told in
contemporary Indian cinema? The cameras of the
great Bolliyood filmmakers follow trains of thought
not exactly like our own. We are somewhat surprised
by their work since we do not necessarily have the
tools needed to fully understand them.
To clarify these images – our own, those of our
own
existence – the french writer Dominique Aubier
offers
a study on Indian cinema… not that this industry is in
need of help ! Rather, she "whispers" some ideas
into the public's ear so that we may better
understand the meaning of these films.
Beyond the fascinating visuals, Dominique Aubier
presents an anthropology of films. She unveils the
images and thus provides us with an illuminating
and luminous epistemology.
