18. For an interesting mention of absence as presence in Breillat's films in the very different context of Sartre's theorization of response and the gaze, see Liz Constable, ‘Unbecoming Sexual Desires for Women Becoming Sexual Subjects: Simone de Beauvoir (1949) and Catherine Breillat (1999)’, MLN 119, 2004, pp. 672–95. Although this article ignores the question of the ontology of/and the image in Breillat's work and argues for a theory of ‘shame-as-stasis’ (687) that is at odds with my characterization of the materiality of movement in Breillat's work, it is a very compelling piece and one of the few serious treatments in English of Breillat's philosophy.

20. Lev Kuleshov, a member of the Soviet school in the 1920s, led a series of famous experiments in which he alternated the same photograph of a man's blank face with intercut images of horror, pleasure, silliness etc. He argued that it was juxtaposition that produced a reading of the man's face (audiences saw, at times, him joyous, him mournful) more than any intrinsic properties of the image.
