Literature has long provided an inspiration for filmmakers. This course provides an opportunity to discuss some recent releases alongside the written works that inspired them. What is the difference between telling a story on the page rather than on the screen? What ways of understanding the world does each make possible? To what extent are film and literature competing modes of storytelling, and how might they complement one another?
Each week, we'll focus on a film and the book on which it is based. Covering memoir, political thriller, science fiction, biopic and horror, the films and books we discuss have been selected for their generic diversity.
Films/books discussed on the course:
Mickey 17 (book: Edward Ashton's novel Mickey7);
The Outrun (book: Amy Liptrot's memoir of the same name);
Conclave (book: Robert Harris's novel of the same name);
Dune: Part 2 (book: Frank Herbert's novel, Dune);
Nightbitch (book: Rachel Yoder's novel of the same name);
A Complete Unknown (book: Elijah Wald's Dylan Goes Electric!).
Participants are recommended to see the films and encouraged to read the books, though short excerpts from the books will be provided for discussion in the class. The film/book for the first week is Mickey 17.
