With this book, Maximiliano González Jewkes reflects again on the problem of cinema as a cultural phenomenon at the beginning of the third millennium.
In this sense, he develops, deepens and tries to answer the questions of his previous book: why and why think of cinema in our days as resistance of the gaze? To what extent is it possible, in the face of the neoliberal era of aesthetic globalization, to build one's own gaze? That is, "to do something with what is seen".
This book asks us if we are not facing the epilogue of auteur cinema. And rather than witnessing the appearance of a new horizon of expectations, we find ourselves with a true cinematic twilight dawn, where the tyranny of special effects has been transformed into the power that governs cinema and beauty is replaced by spectacularity. Hence the rescue and attention that the author makes of certain films, such as The Great Beauty, The Lime Tree, Barton Fink, Iron 3 and Cigars, among others.
