Description

The Darkroom by Marguerite Duras A collection of script and manifesto-like propositions from Marguerite Duras' 1977 film Le camion, this book challenges traditional cinema's approach to storytelling. Duras argues that most movies "beat the imagination to death" due to their formulaic nature, and instead advocates for a more intellectual and sensory cinematic experience. In this unique work, Duras critiques the gatekeepers of traditional cinema, accusing them of treating intelligence as if it were a "class phenomenon". She also discusses her own filmmaking style, which is based on ideas and sensory experience. The book features a dialogue with Michelle Porte, in which Duras further elaborates on her approach to filmmaking. Translated by Alta Ifland & Eireene Nealand, and featuring an introduction by Jean-Luc Nancy, this edition of The Darkroom provides a fascinating insight into the mind of a pioneering filmmaker.
