Buddhism in American Film

This product is a book that offers a scholarly examination of the intersection between Buddhism and cinema. It discusses two types of Buddhist films – those about Buddhists and those that are not. The book focuses on contemporary American films and explores how directors capture Buddhism and how Buddhist-oriented critiques can be applied to films unrelated to Buddhism. The contributors analyze various films, ranging from those set in Tibet to those set in completely different contexts. They also explain Buddhist concepts that emerge in these films and consider different interpretive strategies. The book is available in English, has a file size of 23196 KB, and has 276 pages.
