Pregnant bodies recur beyond the windshield
Why does the car's continuous movement fail to turn these bodies into roadside information and instead make them harder for Katherine to escape?

The passage bounds and Bilibili still at 00:41:40 were checked separately on their named carriers. They remain distinct coordinates and do not establish identical timecodes for other versions.
Visible facts
- 01
Katherine drives alone; frontal close-ups of her at the wheel alternate with moving views of pedestrians along the street.
- 02
Several visibly pregnant women appear in succession, and the film repeatedly cuts back to Katherine's eyes and face.
Audible facts
- 01
Engine and street noise continue while Katherine voices her anger toward Alex in English; the speech does not instruct her to stop or change course.
Action relation
Driving preserves a minimal sensory-motor chain but cannot convert the serial sights into an executable marital decision.
Temporal relation
The repetition of similar bodies turns fertility from an abstract issue into a present that keeps arriving; every return shot intensifies rather than resolves it.
Conceptual reading
Multiple independent street views, Katherine's reaction shots, and the unchanged route must all be checked; the concept cannot be inferred from one passer-by.

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.
