Six Films
(Author) Marguerite DurasThe English-language debut of a beautiful and beguiling cycle of experimental texts by the legendary Marguerite Duras. In the late 1970s, Marguerite Duras embarked on an experimental journey to expand the boundaries of writing and film. For Duras, writing need not be text on a page nor cinema merely images on a screen. Six Films is the result of her efforts to redefine the two arts in order to create a hybrid work. Taking narration, voiceovers, and dialogue from six of her films, Duras re-envisions them as extended prose poems and monologues, tangling with self-identity, personal relationships, colonialism, and expression as the celluoid images recede and the text becomes the film itself. Now available for the first time in English, Six Films is a document of an artist at the apex of her creative prowess.
Marguerite Duras
Marguerite Duras was a French writer known for her novel "The Lover," a semi-autobiographical work exploring love, desire, and colonialism. Her sparse and lyrical writing style, often blending fiction with personal experience, made her a leading figure in 20th-century French literature. Duras's work continues to inspire and challenge readers.
