Course contents :  The cinema appears, at the end of a long historical process, as having accomplished something that novelists, since the beginning of the 19th century, had tried to achieve (rapid scene changes, variations on the role of the narrator, etc.)
Through its tangible power of suggestion, the cinema has been highly rated by 20th century writers, who helped define it as a narrative art, no longer as only a dramatic art (Cf. Jean Mitry).
Thus the course has in view several different intersections between film and literature:
- cinema of the author: the film is entirely written before filming (Jean Eustache, for example)
- adaptation: making a film out of a literary work (Renoir adapting Simenon, etc.)
- a scenario directed by writers: Diras writing "Hiroshima mon amour" at Resnais' request.
- dialogue imagined by writers: Daniel Boulanger, Boris Vian, Sartre are examples.
- voice-overs as examples of a persistent nostalgia for literature in cinema (Truffaut, Godard, etc.)
- books in films / films in books
- literary criticism.
