INTRODUCTION
The image of the cinematic thought of Raymond Bellour in English-language contexts is an incomplete one, still framed to a large extent by the essays collected in the volume The Analysis of Film (Bellour 2000). There is a more limited awareness of Bellour's more recent work on cinema, owing to the translations in film journals of the research Bellour conducted into the relations between still and moving images as well as of his role as a key interlocutor of Michel Foucault and Gilles Deleuze.
