Abstract

This thesis is a series of three interlocking essays concerning the relationship between the first two feature films of Philippe Grandrieux, Sombre and La Vie Nouvelle, and the philosophy of Gilles Deleuze. The chief concern of the project is to account for the remarkable vitality of Grandrieux's cinema. This is approached from three directions: Deleuze's critique of representation and ontological grounding of difference, his conception of art as a rendering sensible of forces, and finally his conception of a life separate from any actual subject that incarnates it.
