<p> <em>“Botz-Bornstein’s book</em> Organic Cinema <em>contains a lot of food for thought. It is a non-standard piece on film with a new suggestions and new readings. I recommend it to those of you who want to read about more than just Tarr as a director, but who would like to learn about the context which his films and his filmmaking is embedded in. It’s a thoroughly interesting book.”</em>  <strong>• European History Quarterly</strong></p> <p> <em>“While combining film theory with the theory of architecture, music and theology, the organic method could offer a new alternative to deconstructionism, constructivism, cultural studies, and cinema aesthetics. For this reason, Organic cinema deserves academic attention, especially because it has the potential to create a new platform.”</em>  <strong>• Studies in Eastern European Cinema</strong></p> <p> <em>“</em>Organic Cinema <em>is an extremely dense text, rich with philosophical, aesthetic, filmic, and musicological insights. The book’s depth and breadth are certainly impressive, offering a valuable — even audacious — contribution to film theory and architectural theory. Botz-Bornstein is at his best when he makes the radical connections between architecture, cinema and musical theology… [and in this way] contributes to the evermore burgeoning field in which architectural theory and film are considered together.”</em> <strong>• Invisible Culture</strong></p> <p> <em>“A magisterial, transdisciplinary contribution and brilliant comparative analysis of a major contemporary filmmaker whose work remains undertheorized and insufficiently known in a global framework.</em> Organic Cinema <em>presents a wealth of perspectives on the interlocking fields of cinema and architecture.”</em> <strong>• Catherine Portuges</strong>, University of Massachusetts, Amherst</p>
