the Indians no longer appear at the top of the hill outlined against the sky, but spring up from the tall grass, from which they were indistinguishable. The Indian almost blends into the rock behind which he waits (Martin Ritt’s Hombre) [Deleuze, Cinema 1, 1986:171b]

les Indiens n’apparaissent plus en haut de la colline en se détachant sur le ciel, mais jaillissent des hautes herbes dont ils ne se distinguaient pas. L’Indien se confond presque avec le rocher derrière lequel il attend (« Hombre », de Martin Ritt) [Deleuze Cinéma 1, 1985:229b]
