The World Transparent

Arts & Literature

“An excellent analysis of the art form of storytelling through movies and the way in which cinema can ‘hold up a mirror’ to the world and the human condition. Butorac exhibits a deep knowledge of the tradition of the Catholic Church with respect to the arts, sacraments, virtues, and other theological matters and how they are treated in the world of film. . . . Movies have an outstanding ability to tell stories that show the ways in which the divine is bursting forth into the world, and The World Transparent is an excellent resource for those who are interested in film studies.”
