Reviews
“Daniel Varndell’s Hollywood Remakes, Deleuze and the Grandfather Paradox is an innovative book that gets past the usual argument that the original film is the best version and the remake an ill-made copy. … Varndell’s book is a mandatory text for those interested in remakes and Deleuzian film-philosophy. … With Hollywood’s film industry turned into a constant remake production machine, Hollywood Remakes, Deleuze and the Grandfather Paradox certainly provides a solid framework through which we can understand its implications.” (María Victoria Gomez Vila, Film-Philosophy, Vol. 21 (1), 2017)
"Hollywood Remakes, Deleuze and the Grandfather Paradox re-makes Deleuze in order to re-think cinematic re-makes. It is a strikingly original piece of work about the paradoxes of the apparent unoriginality of re-makes. It is at once an elegant repudiation of a number of bad readings of Deleuze (particularly by Badiou and Zizek) and a vitally fresh contribution to the field of cinema studies." - Ian Buchanan, Editor, Deleuze StudiesAbout the author
