| 要約: | The dramatic film Incendies (2010) by Denis Villeneuve initiates and complexifies a discussion of the tension between mobility and immobility that is linked to tensions between conviviality and conflict, forgiveness and revenge, diaspora and exile. The present article argues that the tension and extension of an oscillating in-between captured by the term im/mobility pervades the film on multiple levels. Consequently, the film’s portrayal and use of physical, psychological, emotional, mathematical, cultural, and political - but also cinematographic - im/mobilities are discussed in detail. While the focus on im/mobility allows us to uncover layers of this film that usually remain covered by a story that is extremely hard to digest, the film’s use of the tension and oscillation of im/mobility offers important insights into its dramaturgic, political, aesthetic, and cinematographic potential. |
