Summary/Abstract: The text draws a comparison between Don DeLillo’s novel “White Noise” and Noah Baumbach’s film of the same name. The analysis places an emphasis on the divergence of temporal structures in the film and in the novel, on the different interpretations of cultural signs in them and on the unequal communication of the two works with non-fictional reality. If Don DeLillo’s novel “White Noise” is read as a critique of culture and has a dystopian perspective, Baumbach’s film is focused on the subject’s experience and increasingly looks like a mirror of today’s reality.
