Let film meet its end, that's the only cinema.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Darkroom\u003c\/i\u003e contains the script for Marguerite Duras's 1977 radically experimental film \u003ci\u003eLe camion\u003c\/i\u003e (\u003ci\u003eThe Truck\u003c\/i\u003e). Between images of a truck in motion, juxtaposed voiceovers, and cutaways to Duras in conversation with G?rard Depardieu, \u003ci\u003eLe camion\u003c\/i\u003e turns the art of film into a means of enabling the viewer to engage multiple faculties--not only the visual and the aural, but also memory, imagination, and desire. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAlso included here is a series of short essays in which Duras makes provocative connections between film and textuality, as well as a fascinating dialogue with Michelle Porte. Together amounting to a crucial contribution to the field of film theory, these texts make brilliantly apparent the depth and integrity of Duras's aesthetic, philosophical, and political thinking.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMarguerite Duras (1914-96) was a French writer and filmmaker.
