Painting and Cinema

On the French website of the Caen Ciné-Club, there is a great synopsis of the taxonomy developped by Gilles Deleuze in L'image-Mouvement (1983) / L'Image-Temps (1985).
Notably the analogy between the aesthetic schools of Cinema and Plastic Arts. The list order follows the chronology of cinema movements. Thus, the matching Art movements don't fall in their own chronological timeline.

It looks like "The Cristals of Time" is the category that corresponds best to the trend we considered as "Contemplative Cinema" at the Unspoken Cinema blogathon in January. And I'm reading this book at the moment and will return to the trend of contemplation in cinema, and continue to contribute to our collective blog.
