And it can also do so without destroying the original work... or emerging as a second-rate version of the printed word.
Providing a close-up study of the ways in which adaptation may serve as a successful, even superlative, interpretation of literature, Double Exposure examines the aesthetics, the history, and the contemporaryresults of moviemakers' use of fiction in film. Here is an eye-opening of contemporary films that succeed, fail, or even transcend their literary source when two parallel art forms join forces at the movie.

Genre matters : essays in theory and criticism / Garin Dowd, Lesley Stevenson, Jeremy Strong [editors] Bristol, UK: Intellect Books, 2006.
Call No: 622 GENAuthor: Dowd, Garin ; Stevenson, Lesley ; Strong, Jeremy Source: UKPlace: Bristol, UKPublisher: Intellect BooksPubDate: 2006PhysDes: 178 p. ; 23cmSubject: GENRES ; PROGRAMME GENRES ; GENDER AND TELEVISION ; GENDER AND THE CINEMA ; DERRIDA, JACQUES ; TESS (FR/UK, Roman Polanski, 1979) Summary: This collection of new essays addresses a topic of established and expanding critical interest throughout the humanities. It demonstrates that genre matters in a manner not constrained by disciplinary boundaries and includes new work on Genre Theory and applications of thinking about genre from Aristotle to Derrida and beyond. The essays focus on economies of expectation and competency, genre as media form, recent developments in television broadcast genres, translation and genericity, the role played by genre in film publicity, gender and genre, genre in fiction, and the problematics of classification. An introductory essay places the contributions in the context of a wide range of thinking about genre in the arts, media and humanities.
