About this book

Afterimage: The Indelible Catholic Imagination of Six American Filmmakers by Blake, Richard A.. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780829415506.

Blake, a noted film critic, reveals a Catholic imagination at work in the films of Martin Scorsese, Alfred Hitchcock, Frank Capra, John Ford, Francis Ford Coppola, and Brian De Palma. Their movies are permeated with such Catholic ideas as sacramentality (the sacred is present in the profane things of the world), mediation (God works in our lives through specific people and things), and communion (salvation depends on belonging to a community).
