Description
Marguerite Duras's My Cinema Writing & Interviews is a unique collection of reflections and writings that span her nineteen films, made between 1966 and 1985. This volume includes non-standard press releases, notes to actors, letters to funders, short essays on themes such as 'mothers' and 'witches', and significant interviews with filmmakers and critics. Duras's writing is characterized by its encyclopaedic associative powers, bringing readers into contact with a wide range of subjects including the French Communist Party, hippies, Jews, revolutionary love, madness and freedom. Her work is always in dialogue with the contemporary moment and world history, making this collection a fascinating insight into her cinematic and writing practices. Through these writings, Duras blurs the boundary between word and image, exploring the paradox of creating a cinema that seeks to destroy the very medium itself. This book offers a rare glimpse into the mind of a major filmmaker, one whose global perspectives and preoccupations inform every aspect of her work.
