| description | Weaving together history, philosophy, and fiction, Casablanca’s Conscience presents the eponymous film as one embodying timeless philosophical resonance, representing themes of concern to all people. Exile, purgatory, irony, resistance, and most especially love are the chapter headings and organisational matrix by which author Robert Whalen comprehends the continued relevance of this now eighty-two-year-old film. In Casablanca (Michael Curtiz, 1942), everybody comes to Rick’s. Rick (Humphry Bogart) is a worn-out cynic with a mysterious past. |
