And even the way he walks seems like so many misperformed dance steps, an extended and recommenced 'degree zero', with every possible variation, until the perfect dance is born (The Patsy) [Deleuze Cinema 2, 1989: 62d]

Et même sa démarche semble autant de ratés de danse, un « degré zéro » prolongé et renouvelé, varié de toutes les manières possibles, jusqu'à ce que naisse la danse parfaite ( « The Patsy ») [Deleuze Cinéma 2, 1985: 88b]
