His love of authentic landscapes and of documentary films Suggests that he saw photogénie as an almost natural process, somewhat akin to Siegfried Kracauer's view of cinema's affinity for nature. In this Delluec was unique among the Impressionists. By 1923, however, Delluc had apparently acquiesced to the emphasis on cinema's stylizing capacities, and his preface to Drames du Cinéma (Paris:Monde Nouveau 1923) makes most of the standard ee ee assumptions.
