Argument
Escobar proposes the intensive-image as a transversal concept for variation, difference, and sensory pressure in Deleuzian film philosophy. Movement-image and time-image become tendencies that can overlap within one shot.
Core question
Can intensity connect movement, time, body, sound, and space without dividing cinema into two sealed historical eras?
Argument structure
Affect, perception, and bodily intensity connect the problems of action-chains and direct time. Colour, sound, speed, and gesture jointly change relations within the shot; intensity becomes perceptible through their interaction.
