Beckett espectador de cine: intertextualidades en Film (1965)

Abstract

The idea of intertextuality is essential to Samuel Beckett’s only incursion into cinema. Film works with the history of cinema and subscribes to the tradition of avant-garde movies and silent films from the 1920s and 1930s. Through that choice, Film questions the forms of representatios of its contemporary narrative cinema. As an experimenter in a new medium, Beckett atetmpts to shape a new image for cinema, an image in tune with his literary and play-writing works, with the “poetics of emptyness” he displayed in his literature.
