Schizo times in cinematic thought

pp. 29-42

This chapter is a prelude to the next as it sets up the analysis that will follow. I venture a schizoanalysis of the film The Butterfly Effect, the 2004 film directed by Eric Bress and J. Mackye Gruber. Both Patricia Pisters, a Deleuzian film theorist, and Todd McGowan, whose theoretical orientation is Lacanian, have commented on this film. In this chapter, I explore and review Deleuze's philosophy of time to help grasp the complexity of time developed in the film as well as his exploration of time-images, the most crucial to the film being chronosigns.
