After Les frontières du flou, 2013, we needed to pass from a global issue to a precise study : but why cinema ? Because the boundaries between cinematographic subject and the psychological subject are thin, blur prevails : uncertainty, confusion — the unspeakable ? Blow up, Anna Karénine, Adalen 31, Kaïro, Bleu, Harry dans tous ses états, Sunset Boulevard, Mauvais sang, Au-delà, Le procès, Une femme disparaît, Chott El Djerid, Removed, Le Film, So What ?...

What are the causes, modalities, exploitations, uses, consequences and stakes of the boundaries of blur in cinema ? The relation between technics and esthetics, between non-art and art, between geoartistic and geopolitics. This book starts from artworks to reach issues, through techniques questionning. It is about cinema, image, contemporary art and their boundaries.
