Resumo: What differentiates the trajectories of refugees from other displaced persons (immigrants, exiles, etc.) in the world? No doubt they are under imminent danger and the constraint of their fate, which is unknown to them, for they are at the mercy of the international community. For Giorgio Agamben, the refugee figure offers a different perspective on life. The refugee is no longer just the asylum seeker, but a "limit concept" that radically places the foundations of Nation-states in a crisis and opens up new conceptual categories. In this paper I examine how the cinema explores the refugee's character through a contemporary political aesthetic by addressing the perception of time in the space of wandering and mobility in the film Montreal, the White, from 2015, directed by Algerian-Canadian filmmaker Bashir Bensaddek. His characters move between the present and the past seen through the rearview mirror of a taxi, thus configured as a place of refuge.

(immigrants, exilés, etc.) dans le monde? Sans aucun doute, ils sont en danger. leur destin leur est complètement inconnu, car ils sont à la merci de communauté internationale. Pour Giorgio Agamben, la figure de réfugié offre une Point de vue différent sur la vie. Le réfugié n'est plus seulement un demandeur d'asile,mais c’est un "concept de frontière" qui jette radicalement les bases des États-nations en crise et ouvre de nouvelles catégories conceptuelles. Dans cet article, j'analyse comment le cinémacomprend la figure du réfugié à travers l’esthétique politique contemporaine, aborder la perception du temps dans l'espace de l'errance et de la mobilité dans le film montréalais,la Blanche réalisé en 2015 par le cinéaste canado-algérien Bashir Bensaddek.
