The Modernist Screenplay explores the film screenplay as a genre of
modernist literature. It connects the history of screenwriting for
silent film to the history of literary modernism in France,
Germany, and Russia. At the same time, the book considers how the
screenplay responded to the modernist crisis of reason, confronted
mimetic representation, and sought to overcome the modernist
mistrust of language with the help of rhythm. From the silent film
projects of Bertolt Brecht, to the screenwriting of Sergei
Eisenstein and the poetic scripts of the surrealists, The Modernist
Screenplay offers a new angle on the relationship between film and
literature. Based on the example of modernist screenwriting, the
book proposes a pluralistic approach to screenplays, an approach
that sees film scripts both as texts embedded in film production
and as literary works in their own right. As a result, the sheer
variety of different and experimental ways to tell stories in
screenplays comes to light. The Modernist Screenplay explores how
the earliest kind of experimental screenplays-the modernist
screenplays-challenged normative ideas about the nature of
filmmaking, the nature of literary writing, and the borders between
the two.
