Internationale Forschungen Zur Allgemeinen und Vergleichenden Literaturwissenschaft Ser.: Wim Wenders and Peter Handke : Collaboration, Adaptation, Recomposition by Joanne Leal and Martin Brady (2011, Trade Paperback)
This is the first volume in English to examine in detail one of the most remarkable collaborations between a writer and filmmaker in European cinema. Focusing on the four films Wim Wenders and Peter Handke made between 1969 and 1987 ( 3 American LPs , The Goalkeeper's Fear of the Penalty , Wrong Move , and Wings of Desire ), it explores the productive tension between adaptation and collaboration and demonstrates the different ways in which text- and image-makers can recompose film's constituent media (literature, still and moving images, music, drama). The study reveals that this partnership had significant aesthetic and conceptual repercussions for both artists, resulting in a series of single-authored works which manifest the same kinds of intertextuality and disjunctive intermediality that are the hallmark of the collaborations themselves. These include Wenders's Alice in the Cities , Handke's films The Chronicle of On-Going Events and The Left-Handed Woman , and his novels Short Letter, Long Farewell and A Moment of True Feeling . While the Wenders-Handke partnership is unique, it contributes to a broader understanding of cinematic adaptation and different models of intermedial collaboration. This volume will be of interest to those working in the fields of Adaptation, Film, and German Studies.
