Editing has been called the language of cinema, and thus a film's ending can be considered
the final punctuation mark of this language, framing everything that came before and
offering the key to both our interpretation and our enjoyment of a film. In "Cinematic
Cuts", scholars explore the philosophical, literary, and psychoanalytic significance
of film endings, analyzing how film endings engage our fantasies of cheating death,
finding true love, or determining the meaning of life. They examine how endings offer
various forms of enjoyment for the spectator, from the momentary fulfillment of desire
in the happy ending to the pleasurable torment of an indeterminate ending. The contributors
also consider how film endings open onto larger questions relating to endings in our
time. They suggest how a film ending's hidden counternarrative can be read as a political
act, how our interpretation of a film ending parallels the end of a psychoanalytical
session, how film endings reveal our anxieties and fears, and how cinema itself might
end with the increasing intervention of digital technologies that reorient the spectator's
sense of temporality and closure. Films by Akira Kurosawa, Lars von Trier, Joon-Hwan
Jang, Claire Denis, Christopher Nolan, Jane Campion, John Huston, and Spike Jonze,
among others, are discussed
