Poetics of Cinema is a labyrinthine and erudite yet at times playfully anti-academic book series of film theory by Chilean filmmaker Raúl Ruiz (1941-2011) consisting principally of lectures he gave in diverse locations between 1990 and 2009.[1]

In Poetics of Cinema 1: Miscellanies (1995), Ruiz outlines his rejection of John Howard Lawson's Central Conflict Theory and makes a case for unique, enigmatic boredom in film. In Poetics of Cinema 2 (2006), he addresses the notions of Fascination and Detachment as regards the film image. A third volume (published posthumously in Spanish in 2013) sees him take on Sergei Eisenstein's writings and describe his own work on La Recta Provincia and Nucingen House.
