List of Figures
|
Figure 1. A close-up abstracts and makes a gesture expressive, “isolating an image” by fragmenting the body to focus on performance signs. |
|
Figure 2. A recurring feature of Hartley’s work, the gesture is emphasised by the close-up to focus on the performance sign. |
|
Figure 3. Satan (Thomas Jay Ryan) illogically encounters a microphone, as the film abstracts its use of narration and the hierarchical organisation of the film’s narrations. |
|
Figure 4. Josh (Robert Burke, on the left of the frame) is repeatedly mistaken for a priest, as other characters misinterpret “sign-vehicles” regarding his appearance and role. |
|
Figure 5. The kiss in Flirt’s Tokyo sequence is framed in tight close-up, giving the audience a privileged view of Miho’s (Miho Nikaido) reluctance and surprise. |
|
Figure 6. The final image of Trust leaves Maria (Adrienne Shelly) suspended ambiguously between states. |
