• Resumen

  • This essay reflects on the ambiguity of labels such as ‘underground’, ‘extreme’ or ‘sensational’ in cinema – and on the difficulty of finding the best analytical balance between form and content in the discussion of extreme works. The case of Philippe Grandrieux (Sombre, 1998; La Vie Nouvelle, 2003) offers rich material for such a study in ambiguity. His work evokes a swirl of very different associations from the full span of cinema history and its 'sensational' modes of effect and affect.
