Chapitre IX. Les Composantes de l'image

1d. The talkie makes visible and the visual image becomes readable

1d. Le parlant fait voir, et l'image visuelle devient lisible

Whilst it is now the heard voice which spreads in visual space, or fills it, trying to reach its addressee across obstacles and diversions. It hollows out space. [...] the mother's song has to go up the stairs and through the rooms before its refrain finally reaches the imprisoned child (Hitchcock's The Man Who Knew Too Much). [Deleuze Cinema 2, 1989:224bc]

Tandis que maintenant c’est la voix entendue qui se répand dans l’espace visuel, ou le remplit, cherchant à atteindre son destinataire à travers les obstacles et les détours. Elle creuse l’espace. […] la chanson de la mère doit monter des escaliers, traverser des pièces, avant que son refrain n’atteigne enfin l’enfant emprisonné (« L’homme qui en savait trop »d’Hitchcock). [Deleuze Cinéma 2, 1985:303b.c]
