Sághy Miklós - Az irodalomra közelítő camera

Product content: The study volume discusses the theoretical and practical-aesthetic issues of literary adaptation. Among other things, it examines topics such as the nature of loyalty or disloyalty, the hierarchical approach of literature and cinematography, the multi- or monomedia approach, as well as the influence of the era of film history, the cult of writers, the politics of memory, the prevailing ideology and the director's style on the filming process . Analyzes highlighting Hungarian works use different methods and approaches, often requiring different theoretical frameworks, although their starting point is always determined by a close reading of text and moving images. On the one hand, the comparative analyzes reveal the peculiarities of film and literary works that can be seen in the comparison, and on the other hand, they offer an example of a multi-faceted approach to literary adaptations with a thorough presentation of analysis methods. The volume can be an exciting and instructive read for both professionals and a wider readership interested in cinematography.
