Just learned from Wallflower Press of a very nice (four-star) review of Cinema in the Digital Age from the UK film magazine TOTAL Film:
"US academic Rombes syncs style and substance in his attempt to 'humanise' digital cinema. His pitch is that old-school film 'haunts the digital' via the teasing of imperfection and error into potentially over-slick images. INLAND EMPIRE and Planet Terror are presented as proof, the point being to open up the 'perfection' of digital to 'something intimate and human.' Rombes involvcs his reader too, scrambling linear structure in favor of alphabetically ordered themes so you can pause, skip and shuffle."--Kevin Harley
The review appears (for now) in the print version of the magazine.
