Summary: Adaptation as an art in itself is the theme of these original essays by leading film scholars and critics. Starting with some of the finest European films produced since World War II, they investigate the literary source of each. But their emphasis is on film, and their writing challenges the conventional assumption that a great book must inevitably make an inferior movie. It is the editors' premise that adaptation, especially in the hands of a gifted director, can be a lively and creative art. The essays offer a fresh perspective on both films and their directors - among them Antonioni, Bertolucci, Bunuel, Fassbinder, Godard, Ophuls, Truffaut. The genesis of films such as Blow-Up, The Conformist, and Jules et Jim is explored often frame-by-frame, for a fuller understanding of the creative process of filmmaking." - BOOK BLURB
