Theatre Through The Camera Eye: Poetics of an Intermedial Encounter

Through an in-depth analysis of films such as Jacques Rivette’s , Pedro Almodóvar’s and Charlie Kaufman’s , this book analyses the embedment of theatre in film and the notion of spectatorial address. Using textual analysis in conjunction with concepts derived from narratology, performance philosophy, and film and theatre phenomenology, it explores the mechanisms of representation involved in the intermedial diegetisation of theatre in film.
