All drama takes the form of one of 36 situations. That was Georges
Polti's theory about theatre, which he put forward in his book 36
Dramatic Situations, published in French in the mid-19th century. A
century and a half later, Mike Figgis was struggling with a film
treatment. He couldn't get it right. But when he turned to Polti's
book, the sample situations helped clarify his ideas and broaden
the landscape of his creativity. He saw just how useful this sort
of a framework could be for writers, and decided to rework Polti's
theory for a modern, film-focused audience. Combining re-imagined
situations with cinematic examples, and chart-based analysis of 150
great films, the resulting book is an invaluable and stimulating
tool for any writer.
