“…In the 1960s, Metz argued that there was no cinematographic language, but that a film is an articulation of different languages, while Mitry, on the other hand, continued to defend the existence of an absolute cinematographic language. Since that time, various theorists and professionals have developed possible explanations of cinema based on the existence of a cinematographic language (Bettetini, 1975;Bordwell et al, 1997;Pasolini, 1976;Stam et al, 2005) or on the impossibility of its existence (Deleuze, 1985(Deleuze, / 1996Rivette, 1951;Straub & Huillet, 1984). This ongoing discussion precludes the possibility of a unified cinematographic theory on the discursive essence of the film.…”
