the 'proliferations' by which the burlesque character makes others swarm together (the six uncles in Family Jewels), or implicates others who are absorbed (the three in Three on a Couch); the cases of 'spontaneous generation' of faces, bodies, or crowds; the 'agglutinations' of characters who meet, joint together and separate (The Big Mouth). [Deleuze Cinema 2, 1989: 63d]

les « proliférations » par lesquelles le personnage burlesque en essaime d'autres (les six oncles de « Family Jewels »), ou en implique d'autres qui se résorbent (les trois de « Three on a Couch »); les « générations spontanées » de visages, de corps ou de foules; les « agglutinations » de personnages qui se rencontrent, se soudent et se séparent (« The big mouth ») [Deleuze Cinéma 2, 1985: 89-90]
