Abstract
Through the comparative analysis of Chris Marker’s La Jetée (1962), Buñuel’s The Exterminating Angel (1962), Ridley Scott’s Blade Runner (1982), Alan Resnais’s You Ain’t Seen Nothing Yet (2012), Wong Kar Wai’s In the Mood for Love (2000) and 2046 (2004), this chapter considers the effectiveness of the postmodern notions of the “outside” as theorized first by Foucault (in relation to Blanchot), and then by Deleuze and Guattari (in relation to Kierkegaard, Nietzsche and Shestov) for the possibility of outlining a different conception of temporality in its relationship to memory and testimonial. Deleuze’s notions of the “time-image” and of the “repetition of faith” help illuminate a radically different account of recollection as creative restitution of memory turned toward the future, which breaks the logic of temporal irreversibility and promises to overcome oblivion and, ultimately, death.
