01:07:32Body and attitude · SHOT EVIDENCE
Expectant mothers are counted into a street series
Once the same bodies recur and are counted aloud, why does the problem become clearer without bringing action any closer?

Visible facts
- 01
Katherine drives with Natalia beside her; their close views alternate with pregnant women, children, a laden donkey, and pedestrians along the street.
- 02
The same type of body appears more than once, and every street view returns to looking and conversation inside the car.
Audible facts
- 01
Natalia remarks on the many expectant mothers in Naples and counts the pregnant women in view, then asks whether Alex likes children.
- 02
Katherine answers that she does not know what Alex is thinking, while engine and street noise remain continuous.
Action relation
Counting turns looking into speech but produces no shared plan; the question of children remains within a marriage unable to act on it.
Temporal relation
This voiced counting repeats the earlier silent street series, turning the present of pregnancy from visual pressure into a difference between two acts of seeing.
Conceptual reading
The spoken count must be compared with the solitary drive at 00:40:22–00:41:57 for the repetition to acquire structural meaning.
Concepts used in the judgement
Primary and scholarly coordinates
- 01Cinema 2: The Time-Image
Minnesota 1989 translation: ch. 1, p. 2 (listed as The Lonely Woman [Viaggio in Italia]).
Brief primary-text mention: on this page Deleuze includes Katherine among female tourists struck by unfolding images and visual clichés; the fuller argument for the turn from agent to seer comes from the surrounding chapter. This site analyzes each scene window, audio-visual fact, and criterion shot by shot.
Terminological coordinates

Action cannot absorb what is seen, so looking itself acquires structural force.

What is seen and said forms a situation that does not extend naturally into action.
→ - opsign / optical signopsigne
The recurring pregnant figures remain opsigns exceeding statistical information.
