- Produced for a bilingual journal, this article on French director, Alain Guiraudie, is written in English but has a number of relatively long citations in French. The article shows how a Deleuzian becoming-animal can open up Guiraudie’s important queer films, L’inconnu du lac (2013) and Rester vertical (2016)). It considers accounts of intimacy as ontological non-relationality (Bersani 2008; 2009) and the idea of separation as an ontological necessity of queer intimacy (John Paul Ricco 2017) before analysing queer intimacy as exposure outwards – an intimacy to and towards, drawing on the affective power of a Deleuzian theory of lines.
