About This Book
In 'The Time-Image', Gilles Deleuze examines the transformation in cinematic expression following World War II, shifting from the action-image to the time-image.
This second volume of his Cinema series builds on the first by focusing on how directors present time directly rather than through movement, introducing key concepts such as the opsign and sonsign.
Deleuze draws on a wide range of filmmakers to illustrate how the time-image disrupts traditional narrative structures and opens new possibilities for perception and memory in film.
The book offers a profound philosophical framework for understanding cinema's role in representing the complexities of modern experience.
