Merkezine aklı ve onunla ilişkili olguları alan bir grup filmi türler ve yapılar üstü gören Elsaesser bunları “akıl oyunu filmleri” başlığı ile yeni bir sınıflandırmaya tabi tutmaktadır. Çoğu kendi kült seyirci kitlesini yaratan bu filmler yazar tarafından iki kategoriye ayrılmaktadır: Bir tarafta, anlatısal açıdan kilit bilgileri kimi zaman ana karakterinden, kimi zaman seyircisinden ve kimi zamansa her ikisinden birden saklayan bulmaca filmler varken diğer tarafta patolojik vakaları (paranoya, şizofreni, hafıza kaybı vb.) ya da fantastik olguları (zihnin içine girme gibi) bahane ederek doğrudan akla odaklanan yapımlar söz konusudur. Algı bozmaya ya da çözüm üretmeye dayandığı için seyirciyle kurulan ilişkilerin yeniden gözden geçirilmesine neden olan bu filmlerin ortaya çıkışına dair, sanal dünyadaki yeni temsil sistemleri ve risk toplumu gibi nedenler belirlendikten sonra bunların semptomlarına ve sonuçlarına da değinilmektedir.

The Mind-Game Film

Öz

Elsaesser takes a group of films that center on mind and related mental phenomena, believing that they are beyond genres and structures, and creates a new classification called “the mind-game film.” Such films, many of which have created their own cult audience, are divided into two categories: at one level there are puzzle-films, which hide key information from their main characters, their audience, and sometimes from both, and at the second level there are films that focus directly on mind in terms of some pathology (e.g., paranoia, schizophrenia, memory loss) or fantastic phenomena (e.g., entering another person’s mind). These films cause one to reconsider the relationship of a film to its audience by breaking down perceptions or creating solutions. Elsaesser attributes the cause of these films to new representative systems in the virtual world and to risk societies. The symptoms and the results of these causes are also examined.
