deleuze film theory
Bogue 2006: 212-13). Nonetheless, it would be plain “stupid”, as Deleuze remarked in one interview, “to want to create a philosophy of cinema”: Deleuze is not trying to apply philosophy to cinema, but move directly from philosophy to cinema and from cinema to philosophy (Deleuze 2000: 366, 367). This interval belongs to the interrelationship between the images as they frame each other: one shot calls for another kind of shot, one cut leads to another – actions and reactions – according to the interests of the film, in particular its directorial style. First, if there is no independent reality to subject and object – they are merely the poles of the image – then there is nothing to stop us saying that cinema, with its images, gives us reality rather than some pale imitation of it. In all of this, time is weighty. Title: ��Thinking with Cinema: Deleuze and Film Theory Author: David Sorfa Created Date: 10/28/2009 4:08:37 PM : 119): but it is not a present memory or psychological recollection so much as a direct exploration of time: “memory is not in us; it is we who move in Being-memory, a world-memory” (ibid. For the cliche is not just bare repetition; it also marks out our “mental deficiency”, “organized mindlessness” and “cretinization” (ibid. This paper takes this film as an example and discusses Gilles Deleuze's film philosophy from three levels: time, latency and presentation. Orson Welles‘s Citizen Kane (1941) is a case in point of the co-presence of past and present, the famed depth of field photography expressing “regions of past as such … The hero acts, walks and moves: but it is the past that he plunges himself into and moves in: time is no longer subordinated to movement, but movement to time” {ibid. Also in the script are all the permutations by which subject and object might connect with each other in between this alpha and omega. This mutilation gives us real time, or the event – the time of eternity. Take Julio Mederri‘s Los Amantes del Circulo Polar (Lovers of the Arctic Circle; 1998), a film all about missed identities and encounters. : 98). What Deleuze calls “any-space-whatevers” (“espace quelconque“) arise (a concept he takes from the anthropologist Marc Auge; Deleuze 1986:109). Image is every thing. : 105). And the quest was not to come up with a totalizing film theory, or to reveal what cinema is saying, but what cinema is doing. Although Deieuze says that there were earlier indications in Orson Welles, Yasujiro Ozu and Jacques Tati. edinburgh university press, 2001. The Deleuzian notion that “the brain is the screen” (Deleuze 2000) stems from Bergsons understanding of the material universe as an u aggregate of images” (Bergson [1896] 1994: 22) (which, in the modern parlance of philosophy of mind, makes him a “radical externalist”): “an image may be without being perceived – it may be present without being represented – and the distance between these two terms, presence and representation, seems just to measure the interval between matter itself and our conscious perception of matter” (ibid.

He writes: Tve tried in all my books to discover the nature of events; its a philosophical concept, the only one capable of ousting the verb ‘to be”‘ (Deleuze 1995a: 141): event as becoming contra being. This extension of the local to the whole is bi-directional, or reciprocally determining. We anticipate that it will survive, of course, as heroes always do. Yet while Deleuze provided dense descriptions of action-images, affection-images, and perception-images, his concepts decidedly subvert the methods of dominant psychologistic models that now constitute a large amount of scholarly film theory. May I send you the book Understanding Deleuze? Or, rather, the event is in this constant missing, about to happen or having happened, but never happening. NOTES 1. Yet the crisis of the image that Deleuze sets up between the last chapter of Cinema 1 and the first chapter of its sequel, Cinema 2, does mark a crucial fissure, a genuine intermission, interval, or gap in Deleuzes own thought as well. This is the Deleuzian event: above the Arctic Circle the sun never sets – a very Platonist idea evoking both the constancy of the atemporal event as well as the circulation of actions and individuals it keeps in play. Or, to take an example of our own, Jaco van Dormael‘s Toto le hews (Toto the hero; 1991) tells a story concerning the profound effects of an old mans past on his and others’ present. BETWEEN SUBJECT AND OBJECT: IMAGE IS EVERYTHING. Hitchcock makes film think or, rather, he shows the calculative intellection involved in plotting a murder, an escape, a capture, a concealment, an evasion or a blackmail. Deleuze and Cinema presents a step-by-step guide to the key concepts behind Deleuze's revolutionary theory of the cinema. impact of Deleuze’s remarkable Cinema I and Cinema II books was still, lamentably, ‘slight to non-existent’ (1997).1 Since then, there has been a boom in scholarly studies devoted to the Deleuzian philosophy of film.2 There has also been a flourishing of interdisciplinary work on Deleuzian philosophy and film theory. The cinematic glimpses of real time also come in various guises, some more and some less obviously temporal. M. Antonioni, 1960) or Ladri di biciclette (The bicycle thief; dir. From the Deleuzian position, therefore, it is a mistake to think that the film image is “by nature in the present” {ibid. : 109). Home › Literary Theory › Gilles Deleuze and Film Theory, By Nasrullah Mambrol on August 6, 2018 • ( 3 ). After a surge of theory in the 1970s, film studies settled, became a discipline with an agenda and an archive, and developed curricula in directions away from abstraction and pure thought. Cinema 1 asks us to wait and see. Other new signs enter into relation with a set of different types of time-image: readable and thinkable images or “chronosigns” (points of the present and sheets of the past), “crystal-images” (where actual and virtual are held together), “lectosigns” (readable images) and “noosigns” (signs that can only be thought); cf. Because cinema is time itself in direct presentation, its time-images are glimmering instantiations of the “most fundamental operation of time”. We can learn as much from what film shows as from what philosophy says: both are vital forms of expression for Deieuze. Their evental difference resonates through all of the other moments, missed encounters, belated mourning and near-deaths. From Bergson’s movement-image, Deleuze derives three varieties of images: the perception-image, the action-image, and the affection-image. In the cinematic time-image, past and present, virtual and actual, become indiscernible. The local is never closed off: there is always a bi-directional movement that extends the quantitative change in the part to the qualitative state of the Whole. We offer world-class services, fast turnaround times and personalised communication. By inventing new relationships between sound and vision, new types of space, and even new kinds of body (that correspond to a “genesis of bodies” rather than fixed organic coordinates). 2. It attempts to belong to cinema rather than simply be about it. This imagology provides the script for Deleuzes work too, from the movement-image, which gives us only an indirect representation of time (in so far as it depends on montage), to the time-image, which provides us a clear view of time in “false movements” that shatter our “sensory-motor schema” (Deleuze 1986: ix). However, at one and the same time, for the human (as the human has evolved and as every human grows), habitual memories are multiple, contradictory, and paradoxical. Image = consciousness = matter in an objective phenomenology (the flipside of Deleuze’s thesis that the “brain is a subject”) (Deleuze & Guattari 1994:209-11). Atlantis Press is a professional publisher of scientific, technical and medical (STM) proceedings, journals and books. These others are that between the limpid and the opaque, and the seed and the environment (cf. 9. The philosophy of time in film makes us pay attention to the status of and changes in life itself. They lose their utility when they cannot respond to the new challenges after 1945 (post-war European anomie and exhaustion, class upheaval, social reorganization, physical and spiritual dislocation, moral re-evaluation, vast economic migrations). And how those different relations are generated is given to us in the story of images that Bergson provides in chapter one of Matter and Memory. The answer is that it (a static entity) could never occur (a process); to change is to stop being: The agonizing aspect of the pure event is that it is always and at the same something which has just happened and something about to happen; never something which is happening … it is the present as being of reason which is subdivided ad infinitum into something that has just happened or is going to happen, always flying in both directions at once. Whereas Lacanian theory proposes that we see the mirror as if it sees us, in Deleuze’s world, the mirror, or the processes that comprise a mirror, really do see, and touch, us. In Hitchcock’s works, every variation of the movement-image, with biases towards one pole or the other, towards perception or action, is brought together and mentalized, filtered through the pole of intellect. Yet, despite the centrality of the Bergsonian image in his theory (one that would strike many as already veering back towards a phenomenology of appearances), Deleuze does not regard his approach as subjectivist. Daunting though this objective is, it is not an infinite task, for after fifty years or so, Deleuze finds that cinema has exhausted all the variants of actual movement possible in the image. Deleuze and Felix Guattari make it the artist’s task to struggle against the cliches and repetitions of opinion (1994: 204, 214). Montage – a new, aberrant, connection between images – releases even more the qualitative, holistic movement from the local (on-screen) movement-images in an indirect “image of ‘time”. According to Deleuze, we have come to live in a universe that could be described as metacinematic. We see not the thing, but what it is to see (or not see) the thing. The two essential things that come from cinema, in Deleuze ‘s view, are movement and time, which is to say, the indirect and the direct presentation of time. Alluding to Bergsons famous image in Creative Evolution of sugar dissolving in water, Deleuze talks of a variable thread linking the particular to the whole, a thread made manifest in the duration of this event (ibid. The crisis for cinema, then, is also one for our culture and philosophy, for our ability, fundamentally, to think anew. The cliche is embraced in order to be resisted, by taking a failure of form as new content. The time-image in Cinema 2 indicates the possibility of new images, new signs, a future art of cinema. That is why Cinema 1 begins its study with real movement, understanding by this something totally unlike any subjective impression of movement. About Deleuze and Film. The second part of Cinema 1 concerns Deleuze’s classification of types of movement-image. The history of cinema in the first half of the twentieth century comprises all the various permutations that these images and their space-times can take on, the purpose of Deleuze’s Cinema 1 being to chart each and every one of them. Yet, what is an event for Deleuze? Guattari worked heavily with anti-psychiatry movements and … : 29-55). In a universe where only “duration” (change) is real, the moving images of film have an equal claim on reality: films give us immediately self-moving images. Deieuze offers the example of “the obsessive framings” of Eric Rohmer’s Die Marquise von O… (The marquis of O; 1976) as expressive of this objective phenomenology, or semi-subjectivity. : 79). Ángela Molina and Fernando Rey in Cet obscur objet du désir (1977). ), The Edinburgh Companion to Poststructuralism, Edinburgh University Press (2013), 333-351 ). These different types of image, with their salient features (emphasizing agency or affect or milieu) also encompass and are intimately tied to their own respective forms of space and time, each of which possesses the same emphases.3 Variously active, reactive or affective, antagonistic, melodramatic or comedic, such spaces nevertheless remain fairly complicit with the well-determined space-times of the movement-image, whose co-ordinates come from sensory-motor organization. The “past in general” is here in the present on screen, or, rather, we are directly in the presence of the past on screen {ibid. : 20). : 106). Finally, the affection-image – the in-between of perception and action – must not be understood as subjective any more than was the perception-image. Two things must be said here. This book explores Gilles Deleuze's contribution to film theory. Indeed, Deleuze explains virtual ontology plainly: “for the time-image to be born … the actual image must enter into relation with its own virtual image as such” (ibid. About this list: All the films mentioned by Gilles Deleuze in Cinema 1: The Movement Image and Cinema 2: The Time-Image because someone had to do it. Martin Schwab (2000:134n.) Deleuze articulates it as follows: What constitutes the crystal-image is the most fundamental operation of time: since the past is constituted not after the present that it was but at the same time, time has to split itself in two at each moment as present and past, which differ from each other in nature, or, what amounts to the same thing, it has to split the present into two heterogeneous directions, one of which is launched towards the future while the other falls towards the past. The second approach emphasizes film theory over musicology, again telling us little about the relationship between the music and the film.

Indeed, it is the face in close-up that is the model for all affection-images, even if these affection-images comprise close-ups of hands, knives, or guns. Would one emerge to save it? This second crisis, still current today according to Deleuze, concerns the uncreative, cliche-ridden nature of movement-image cinema (that is, Hollywood and its imitators). Deleuze continued writing about philosophy, taught at Paris VIII University, and was heavily involved with activism, art, and film. The magnanimity Deleuze shows to film’s conceptual power is seen most clearly at the very end of his two-volume work on film (Cinema 1: The Movement-Image and Cinema 2: The Time-Image) when he writes that “cinema’s concepts are not given in cinema. The power of the false is the power of creation, invention, novelty. What matters in each case is that the cut now exits for itself, no longer for what it conjoins, but for its own disjunctive value. Cinema was a means of doing philosophy. And yet they are cinema’s concepts, not theories about cinema.” Still, at every point and turn of his five hundred pages of text, films and their makers are continually compared with philosophical thinkers, only ones that “think with movement-images and time-images instead of concepts” (Deleuze 1989: 280). : English preface, xi). Film theory has for so long been concerned with sociological, empirical and psychoanalytic approaches that its place within ouraesthetic sensibilities seems to have been forgotten. Crucially, these “interests” or selections are defined by Deleuze (after Bergson) as forms of perception (ibid. The films of the Italian neorealists, the French New Wave, New German Cinema, and the New Hollywood of the 1970s only give us glimpses of this virtuality, but they are direct glimpses all the same.7 Tliese “new”, evidently, bring the virtual with them (ibid.). Exploring ideas through key directors and genres, Deleuze's method is illustrated with examples drawn from American, British, continental European, Russian and Asian cinema. Into the gap come many things: a real sense of anticipation (for the advent of the time-image), of suspense (over the life or death of cinema) and of animationness (how long before the sequel, Cinema 2: The Time-Image, would come out?). Yet scholarship in this up-and-coming field has been beset by the lack of a common language and methodology between film and music theory. In other words, perception itself is an infra-imagistic delimitation, a further selection or filtering of images from the whole, although nonetheless still linked to the whole. Ultimately, it is the Event. That other time of passage is the past. Would film survive to fight the good fight against cliche? TIME AND ETERNITY: THE IRRATIONAL CUT AND THE EVENT. The curious fact about Cinema 2, however, is that the most powerful embodiment of the time-image throughout the book is not an image at all but the lack of one: the irrational cut. This is the moment of transition when anything is possible, when all the normal motor-linkages, motivated actions, logical plots, rational cuts and wellorganized spaces find no purchase. Here the sensory-motor schema takes “possession of the image” in two basic ways. Jeffrey Bell. With this completion, though, also came the inevitable re-examination of the “nature and status” of the movement-images by theorists and film-makers alike (ibid. Mobility makes the image real (for the Real is change); and the mobility between subject and object makes the image real as well (for their variable relations are embodied in its various types). Adaptation is a generative presentation film, trying to tell us perception, emotion, memory and imagination in the generative and changing world and "what the world might be". It is thus that Delueze is able to argue that Bergson is allied with film, since his own theory describes the entire universe as cinema. And this is plain to see in cinema, where the moving images on screen (a quantity) extend to an off-screen set of images (a quality). R. Bogue, Deieuze on Cinema (New York: Routledge, 2003), 7-8. In a sense, though, it is only the same thing that is being said in different ways, and this is in line with Deleuze s theory of univocity (that Being is said in the same way of, and by, every different thing). Nonetheless, Deleuzian images do have subjective and objective poles or profiles, which are themselves related to each other in different ways. Indeed, Deieuze characteristically favours all the pathologies or failings of memory and recognition – deja vu, dream-images, fantasies, visions of the dying – as the proper cinematic avatars of real time; cf. For this, says Deleuze, is exactly how Bergson understood images, as “mobile sections of duration”; duration itself being the Real {ibid. Every permutation in plot and agency is explored and exhausted in cerebro. And alongside the cliffhanger ending and curtain-fall, there also comes a real crisis and gap in Deleuze s film-philosophy, although we shall have to wait until we have seen what the time-image does before we tackle that.4 So what does it do? Gilles Deleuze represents the most widely referenced theorist of cinema today. We keep missing the event. But, and this is the crucial point, the series of repetitions is kept going by the non-coincidence of these two lovers who keep missing each other, even on their first night of love. Film can explore Being-memory across a varied landscape formed with what Deleuze calls “peaks” and “plains” (or “sheets”) of the past. 8. Adaptation, a film with Nicolas Cage acting the leading role and Spike Jonze as the director, carries off abundant prizes upon being released. So “there must be another time in which the first synthesis of time can occur” {ibid., 79). (Ibid. : 81).

Characters and actions become specular, quasi-meditative – processed for their spectrality to create suspense or unease. Deleuze was born in Paris to conservative, middle-class parents, whosent him to public schools for his elementary education; except forone year of school in Normandy during the Occupation, he lived in thesame section of Paris his entire life. The same occurrences are also populated by different characters/actors, a case in point being the line “its the midnight sun” (above the Arctic Circle), which is spoken twice by different characters in different scenes communicating between two remote points in the film. They find their “true genetic element when the actual optical image crystallizes with its own virtual image” (ibid. How is this done? It shows us film thinking for itself. First act (Cinema 1), last act (Cinema 2), with the middle act coming in the transition between the two books. Pisters does not embrace the Deleuzean approach in a straightforward fashion, but on its strengths as the rationally … In one respect, all the movement-images, or set of action-reaction images, can be thought of as cliches because, following Bergson, Deleuze sees any perceived image as a selection and deletion of reality in accordance with preset utilitarian formulae (1989: 20). Just as the apparent completion of philosophy and history by G. W. E Hegel brought about a crisis in Western thought, so also the completion of the first phase of cinema by Hitchcock occasioned new levels of critical re-examination. Sorry, your blog cannot share posts by email. Psychoanalysis of Deleuze and Guattari By Nasrullah Mambrol on December 9, 2016. Deleuze's work came as a surprise, doubly, because of its staunch affiliation with the canon of western philosophy, and its blending of concepts with cinematic genres and structures. With the lectosigns of modern cinema, for example, sounds now constitute an “autonomous sonic continuum”, to use Ronald Bogue’s phrase, while images constitute a separate visual continuum, the two being put into relation with one another through their mutual differences – their asynchrony rather than a synchrony; cf. This movement produces a qualitative feeling, a whole world, simply created from the way an actor might silently raise a hand during an otherwise static shot, or, in a modern movie, when a camera cranes high into the sky above its subject. With the work of Alain Resnais, for instance (Je t’aime, je t’aime [1968], Hiroshima mon amour [1959]), we “plunge into memory” (ibid. It is a phenomenology that transcends “normal”, anthropomorphic, perception, showing us how things see themselves (and us), rather than how we (normally) see them. It is best typified by classical Hollywood narrative and the acting methods accompanying it (although, for Deleuze, narrative is derived from the images, not the other way round). This thread or relation between part and whole is expressed even more clearly with the use of editing techniques, be it in the American, “organic”, style of editing, Soviet “dialectical” montage, the “quantitative” style of pre-war French film-makers, or the “intensive” cutting of the German Expressionists (ibid. Print. Post was not sent - check your email addresses! Cinema 2, 74). Deieuze invokes Pier Paolo Pasolini’s linguistic model of free indirect discourse to explain this transformation; Cinema 1: The Movement-Image, H. Tomlinson & B. Habberjam (trans.) It captures the essence of how the movement-image differs from the time-image, the disjointedness of the latter being rendered fully in a mutilated joint. : 12-17). Opsigns and sonsigns, being breaks with the sensorymotor, are glimpses of real time, the time that lies virtual behind all actual (movement) images. It is more than just false continuity, though, for such cuts come in diverse forms, be it “the steady form of a sequence of unusual, anomolous’ images, which come and interrupt the normal linkage of the two sequences; or in the enlarged form of the black screen, or the white screen, and their derivatives” (Deleuze 1989: 248-9). Deieuze, Cinema 2: The Time-Image, H. Tomlinson & R. Galeta (trans.) Even in the relatively static framings of early cinema – which were often quite geometrical, with the use of golden sections (in Sergei Eisenstein), horizontals and verticals (in Carl Theodor Dreyer), and diagonals (in German Expressionism) – there is a relation with an outof- field that is always qualitative. 6. : 203).6. What is being iterated here is a materialist identity of brain and screen. It is described as a kind of “expression” (Deleuze here shifting to his own Spinozist language; cf. Deleuze 1990b), be it the expression seen in the relation between past and present (or the virtual and the actual), or in other more oblique relations.10 Various films provide examples of the different forms of the crystals expression, some of them perfect (Max Ophuls‘ La Ronde [Roundabout; 1950]), some flawed (Jean Renoir’s La Regie dujeu [The rules of the game; 1939]), some in the process of its composition (Federico Fellini‘s Amarcord [I remember; 1973]), some in the process of its decay (Luchino Visconti‘s Il Gattopardo [The leopard; 1963]). Indeed, the story-arc of Cinema 1 and Cinema 2 is as dramatic as it is (narratively) classical. Download it once and read it on your Kindle device, PC, phones or tablets. Can cinema extract a new image from our cliched world at the end of the movement-image? Where the movement-image weakened itself in formulaic, “false” movements, it is superseded by and subordinated to the time-image. : 11). (London: Athlone, 1989), 39, 55. Deleuze is saying no more than what Friedrich Nietzsche, William James, Bergson and Martin Heidegger said before him: when something breaks, when a habitual act fails to find its target, it emerges (as it really is) into consciousness. Deieuze talks of the paradox of the present as the need for a time in which to constitute/synthesize time (past, present and future). There is an “eye” already “in things, in luminous images in themselves”, for it is not consciousness that illumines (as phenomenology believes), but the images, or light, that already are a consciousness “immanent to matter” (Deleuze 1986: 60, 61). Its link to the whole, therefore – that is, what it expresses of the whole by its infra-imagistic selection – itself constitutes a kind of (qualitative) image that Deleuze calls the “perception-image”. Deleuze gives this large form the formula SAS’ (situation- action-new situation). When vision fails, we see (the truth of) vision, we see the searches in LAvventura (The adventure; dir.

Bogue reminds us that Deieuze alters Bergson to see “movement as the expression of duree” (rather than the same as it) (Deieuze on Cinema, 26). With “in a plurality of ways of being present in the world”, Deieuze is citing Gilbert Simondon, L’individu et sa genese physico-biologique (Paris: Presses Universitaires de France, 1964), 233-4. After writing two early books on Lyotard (1998 and 2000; see also Crome and Williams 2006), Williams published, in rather quick succession, critical introductions to two of Deleuze's most important works, Difference and Repetition (2003) and Logic of Sense (2008). It is a new form of material monism, going beyond phenomenology into an “extended mind”, a mind as part of the world (cinema). Deleuze talks of a new breed of signs, “opsigns” and “sonsigns”, where optical- and sound-images are directly apprehended: We see the actor seeing his seeing, hearing his hearing: it is an image of an image, a thematized image (1989: 69).
