| Sommario/riassunto: | In this book, Dean Kowalski argues that filmmakers can "do" philosophy when creating a fictional narrative film, and utilizes a careful and extensive analysis of Joss Whedon's fictive creations-Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, Firefly, Dollhouse, and The Cabin in the Woods (among others)-to establish this thesis. |
