About the Book

ReFocus: The Films of Claire Denis comprises 14 original works of criticism from world leading Denis scholars and early career researchers.With contributors from as far afield as Canada and Australia, the collection offers a global perspective on Denis' films. It includes an accessible introduction for those new to Denis studies, providing biographical details, an overview of thematic interests, and a brief survey of the most salient and influential trends in Denis scholarship. The first collection of scholarly essays on Denis, and the first major work of criticism on one of the contemporary period's most influential and renowned directors for almost a decade, ReFocus: The Films of Claire Denis is a timely and important contribution to Denis studies and to transnational cinema studies more broadly.

Review :
This collection of insightful chapters develops current scholarship on Claire Denis’ work in the light of thought-provoking concepts such as "hydropoetics", the "New Weird", and "languorous temporality". With subtle attention to the specificities of each film, they provide a new and stimulating access to Denis’ unique oeuvre as a whole. This beautifully wide-ranging collection approaches Claire Denis’ films through an impressively diverse set of methodologies. Thinking across dimensions of ethics and otherness, the body and its environments, the familial and the worldly, ReFocus: The Films of Claire Denis opens exciting new ways to encounter this rich body of work.
