Screening the Text: Intertextuality in New Wave French Cinema by T. Jefferson Kline (Paperback, 2003)

About this product

Product Information

Cinema has always been literary in its desire to tell stories and in its need to borrow plots and narrative techniques from novels, but the French New Wave directors of the 1950s self-consciously rejected the idea that film was a mere extension of literature. With subversive techniques that exploded traditional methods of film narrative, they embraced fragmentation and alienation. Their cinema would be literature's rival, not its apprentice. In this book, T. Jefferson Kline argues that the New Wave's rebellious stance is far more complex and problematic than critics have acknowledged. Challenging conventional views of film and literature in post-war France, Kline explores the New Wave's unconscious obsession with the tradition it claimed to reject. He uncovers the wide range of the literary and cultural texts - American films, classical mythology, French literature and a variety of Russian, Norwegian, German, and English writers and philosophers - as screened in seven films: Truffaut's Jules et Jim ; Malle's Les Amants ; Resnais's L'Annee derniere a Marienbad ; Chabrol's Le Beau Serge ; Rohmer's Ma Nuit chez Maud ; Bresson's Pickpocket ; and Godard's Pierrot le Fou .
