Abstract:

The movementimages in Gilles Deleuze’s film theory basically resembles the category of “genre film”. He elaborates on genre film in terms of noumenon, system and construction. Concerning noumenon, he puts forward an ontology of “sensorymotor apparatus” which integrates the internal and the external; Concerning system, he analyzes the formalist principles of genre classification; Concerning construction, he depicts the generation of desire fragments in genre films and the ways of constructing “impulses” which are enwrapped by civilization. Deleuze juxtaposes the attributes of industrial production and artistic nature in his film theory.

Key words: cinema, Deleuze, genre film
