The Third Meaning

by Roland Barthes

Tretii smysl inache strukturiruet film, ne podryvaia povestvovatelnosti (vo vsiakom sluchae, u eizenshteina), i, mozhet byt, imenno poetomu na ego urovne, i tolko na ego, vystupaet nakonetc sobstvenno "filmicheskoe" (filmique). Filmicheskoe v filme est to, chto ne mozhet byt opisano, eto predstavlenie, kotoroe ne mozhet byt predstavleno. Filmicheskoe (nesmotria na beskonechnoe chislo proizvodimykh v mire filmov) eshche ochen redko (neskolko vspyshek u eizenshteina, mozhet byt, gde-to eshche?), ono nastolko redko, chto pozvoliaet film, tak zhe kak i tekst, eshche ne sushchestvuet. Est tolko "kino, nechto ot iazyka, rasskaza, poemy", inogda ochen "sovremennoe", perevedennoe na iazyk "dvizhushchikhsia izobrazhenii"€¦

Reviews

[Anton Løkke Laursen · Rating 5 out of 5]

"The filmic is that in the film which cannot be described, the representation which cannot be represented. The filmic begins only where language and metalanguage end."

En radikal gentænkning af det filmiske og det underlæggende i (still)billedet, der undslipper sprogliggørelse og almindelig intellektualisering.
