'Fabio Vighi has not simply redefined European cinema but has opened up an entire field of study. This book begins to fill the immense lacuna within contemporary film studies surrounding recent developments in Lacanian theory. The interpretations that he provides offer a radical rethinking of Rohmer, Fellini, Antonioni, Bergman, and many other important directors. After Sexual Difference in European Cinema , what's at stake in the work of these directors becomes truly apparent for the first time.' - Todd McGowan, University of Vermont, USA
