'A Proliferation of Reflections' or The 'Things I Tell You Will Not Be Wrong'










"Thus, in Deleuze's analysis, when directors systematically play with the relationship between acting and being, stage world and real world, film and reality, they are not simply questioning art's function as a re-presentation of reality. They are seeing the world as a proliferation of reflections, objective illusions that are coalescences of the actual and the virtual produced by a perpetual scission of time into the Bergsonian actual present and the virtual "memory of the present" that extends into the entirety of the virtual past."

Ronald Bogue, Deleuze On Cinema, p. 122, Routledge 2003
