France offers an intriguing case in point here. A specific sense of momentum comes from the release, in close succession, of a series of films that exemplify a characteristic awareness of cinema's sensory impact and transgressive nature: Adieu; A ma soeur; Baise-moi; Beau Travail; La Blessure; La Captive; Dans ma peau; Demonlover; L'Humanite?; Flandres; L'Intrus; Les Invisibles; Lady Chatterley; Lec?ons de te?ne?bres; Romance; Sombre; Tiresia; Trouble Every Day; Twentynine Palms; Vendredi soir; La Vie nouvelle; Wild Side; Zidane, un portrait du XXIe?me sie?cle. These films, amongst others, typify a willingness to explore cinema's unique capacity to move us both viscerally and intellectually. Martine Beugnet focuses on the crucial and fertile overlaps that occur between experimental and mainstream cinema. Her book draws on the writings of the likes of Deleuze, Merleau-Ponty and Bataille, but first and foremost, she develops her arguments from the films themselves, from the comprehensive description of specific sequences, techniques and motifs which allows us to engage with the works as material events and as thinking processes. In turn, she demonstrates how the films, envisaged as forms of embodied thought, offer alternative ways of approaching those questions that are at the heart of today's most burning socio-cultural debates: from the growing supremacy of technology, to globalisation, exile and exclusion, these are the issues that appear embedded here in the very texture of images and sounds. 517 3 $aCinema & Sensation 606 $aSenses and sensation in motion pictures 606 $aHuman body in motion pictures 606 $aMotion pictures$zFrance 615 0$aSenses and sensation in motion pictures. 615 0$aHuman body in motion pictures. 615 0$aMotion pictures 676 $a791.430944 686 $aAP 53950$qBSZ$2rvk 700 $aBeugnet$b Martine$01158021 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910781825103321 996 $aCinema and sensation$93815656 997 $aUNINA
