Six Films

<b>The English-language debut of a beautiful and beguiling cycle of experimental texts by the legendary Marguerite Duras.</b><br><br>In the late 1970s, Marguerite Duras embarked on an experimental journey to expand the boundaries of writing and film. For Duras, writing need not be text on a page nor cinema merely images on a screen. <i>Six Films</i> is the result of her efforts to redefine the two arts in order to create a hybrid work. Taking narration, voiceovers, and dialogue from six of her films, Duras re-envisions them as extended prose poems and monologues, tangling with self-identity, personal relationships, colonialism, and expression as the celluoid images recede and the text becomes the film itself. Now available for the first time in English, <i>Six Films</i> is a document of an artist at the apex of her creative prowess.
