Abstract

The paper presents an interdisciplinary study of the connections between literature and film. The way the film is presented points to the fact that it is radically connected to the story as we understand it in literature. On the other hand, in the literature of the modern and postmodern era, poetic and narrative works owe their integrity to the connections they take from film techniques. Reading books and watching movies, we notice that enriched interpretations can only survive in the modern age, which calls us not to look at things individually and individually, but in connection, and to look for a connection on the logical plane in which our education participates.
