Amy Herzog's engaging work examines those instances where music and movement erupt from within more linear narrative frameworks. The representational strategies found in these films are often formulaic, repeating familiar story lines and stereotypical depictions of race, gender, and class. Yet she finds the musical moment contains a powerful disruptive potential. "Amy Herzog's study is one of the first significant monographic studies of Deleuze and Cinema after D. N. Rodowick's Gilles Deleuze's Time Machine. She makes an important contribution to the genre of the musical, and to the study of music as a phenomenon that belongs to the history of film and video." -Gregg Lambert, author of Who's Afraid of Deleuze and Guattari?
