Abstract
The article analyzes the phenomenon of resacralization in postmodern filmmaking, namely, in the New French Extremity films. Resacralization is a kind of human psyche’s response to desacralization predominant in postmodern discourse. Using French new transgressive cinema as a case study, the article highlights the internal processes causing the spontaneous restoration of the fundamental boundary between the sacred and the profane, erased in the modern era.
