The Financial Image: Finance, Philosophy and Contemporary Film

The Financial Image offers a timely and sophisticated study of how film grapples with finance, both formally and representationally. Its astute and captivating readings of popularWall Street classics, lesser-known gems and multi-channel installations refuse to treat film as if it were merely representing the financial world. Rather, King grasps how films construct ways of seeing and experiencing the world, which are deeply entangled with financial means of constructing and capturing value. A riveting contribution to debates on financialization and culture.
