The purpose of this analysis is to stablish the basis of the cinematic expression, that is, what means does the cinema use to express itself. The focus of this paper will be the cinematic image and its expression through photogénie. The concept of photogénie is of interest given that, as claimed by Louis Delluc, “photogénie is the law of cinema”. Furthermore, it will be taken into account the way in which Jean Epstein will resume the intellectual sketches of Delluc in vistas of highlighting what makes and image photogenic and why does the cinema use it in order to express itself.
