Let film meet its end, that's the only cinema.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Darkroom contains the script for Marguerite Duras's 1977 radically experimental film Le camion (The Truck). Between images of a truck in motion, juxtaposed voiceovers, and cutaways to Duras in conversation with Gérard Depardieu, Le camion turns the art of film into a means of enabling the viewer to engage multiple faculties-not only the visual and the aural, but also memory, imagination, and desire. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlso included here is a series of short essays in which Duras makes provocative connections between film and textuality, as well as a fascinating dialogue with Michelle Porte. Together amounting to a crucial contribution to the field of film theory, these texts make brilliantly apparent the depth and integrity of Duras's aesthetic, philosophical, and political thinking.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthors:\u003c\/strong\u003e Marguerite Duras, Jean-Luc Nancy, Alta Ifland, Eireene Nealand\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 156\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9781916809598\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublication date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 20250422\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43558897254461,"sku":"9781916809598","price":26.96,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0597\/7689\/2989\/files\/9781916809598.jpg?v=1788387207","url":"https:\/\/www.palmleaf.com.au\/products\/critical-century-9781916809598","provider":"Palmleaf","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
