About the book
About Screening the Text
To make his case, Kline establishes the international range of the literary and cultural texts "screened" by Truffaut, Malle, Chabrol, Rohmer, Bresson, Godard, and Resnais. Their fascination with American film is well known, but their references extend well beyond--to classical mythology, to contemporary and classical French literature, and to a variety of Russian, Norwegian, German, and English writers and philosophers. Armed with terms such as auteur and camera stylo, the new cineastes engaged directly in "film writing," even while rejecting the orderliness required by straightforward adaptation of written works.
