The Intensive-Image in Deleuze's Film-Philosophy takes an important category from Deleuze's philosophy--the notion of intensity--and explores its background in the context of philosophical ideas about cinematic intensity, the philosophy of difference, and thermodynamics. Escobar argues that the notion of intensity has the potential to change the way in which we think about Deleuze¿s classification of films as signifying two separate periods, the classical period of the movement-image and the modern period of the time-image, by bringing them together and overcoming the separation that Deleuze's film taxonomy creates. This book also discusses ways in which the intensive-image varies and differentiates itself from other images and the role it plays in contemporary cinema.
