Review:
"One of the great virtues of Kickasola's book is the seriousness with which it takes Kieslowski's own seriousness about the possibility of transcendence. " -Chronicle of Higher Education, February 18, 2005
"At a time when film theory and criticism is dominated by socio-political approaches, Joseph Kickasola's The Films of Krzysztof Kieslowski: The Liminal Image is a bold and refreshing endeavor....It is clear that [Kickasola's] principal concerns are metaphysical and formal, daring to ask the Big Universal questions concerning free will, morality, and the possibility of trancendence, now often considered unfashionable or passe in some academic circles." —Caroline Joan (Kay) Picart, The Review of Communication, Volume 4, Nos. 3-4, July-October 2004
“Kickasola’s readings go into more detail than any other critical book on Kieslowski....Kickasola pays the masterful Kieslowski the very particular and careful attention he deserves....highly recommended.” –Choice, January 2005 (CHOICE)
“One of the great virtues of Kickasola's book is the seriousness with which it takes Kieslowski's own seriousness about the possibility of transcendence." -Chronicle of Higher Education, 2/18/05
“Stanley Kubrick held this late director in awe...find out why!” –www.jagnew.com Best of 2004, April2005
“...add[s] significantly to the growing literature and critical dialogue on the films of Kieslowski...extensively researched and cogently expressed...should be of interest to bright cineastes with a particular interest in Kieslowski along with scholars and students engaged in the study of film, cultural studies, and Slavic languages and literatures.” – Slavic Review, Fall 2005
