What happens when you translate literature into a film? Is the book always "better" than the movie? What happens when a story crosses borders? This course explores the complex relationship between literature and cinema through the analysis of works from different genres: memoir (Happening, France), magical realism (Like Water for Chocolate, Mexico), fantasy (Pan's Labyrinth, Mexico/Spain) and surrealism (Blow Up, Argentina/Italy/Great Britain). Our investigation will include socio-cultural context, narrative expression, use of point of view, role of the audience, etc. We will study the resources employed by each medium to deliver a particular message.
