Do we choose our destinies freely? Or are we merely performing roles that have already been written for us?
In this thought-provoking book, the author takes us on a philosophical and cinematic journey through the lens of determinism — a concept that has preoccupied human thought since the dawn of reason.
The text begins with major questions about fate, exploring significant films from various schools and styles — from timeless classics to contemporary experimental works — to examine how the big screen has presented, adopted, or attempted to challenge these questions.
The book offers a profound reading that bridges film theory, philosophy, and science, discussing how cinema has depicted the human being as a creature bound by inescapable laws — whether in politics, economics, or time itself.
Determinism in Cinema is not merely a study of influential films, but an artistic and philosophical reflection on the deepest meanings of our existence, returning once again to the eternal question:
Can we ever truly be free?
