L’écriture cinématographique chez Marguerite Duras
Marguerite Duras’ Cinematographic Writing

Summary/Abstract: Novelist, essayist, playwright and screenwriter Marguerite Duras has remained a controversial figure of the second half of the 20th century through the diversity and modernity of her writings regardless of the criticism that has been voiced of them. She renewed the novel genre and broke with the theatre and cinematography conventions of her time. By employing a minimalist and unique style, Marguerite Duras approached numerous states and feelings such as love, motherhood, disease, gealousy, violence, waiting and boredom in a fascinating and amazing subtlety. One experiences her cinematographic writing style as a perception, picture and sensation. The shape of a Durassian text is simple, scattered with autobiographical elements, with no descriptions, yet with a rich dialogue and no quotation marks.
