MARGUERITE DURAS – SCRIPTWRITER OF LOVE
MARGUERITE DURAS – SCRIPTWRITER OF LOVE

Summary/Abstract: Regardless of all the criticism her work has drawn, the novelist, philosopher, poet, editor, drama and movie director Marguerite Duras remains, due to the modernity and diversity of her works, a controversial figure of the second half of the XXth century. Duras has renewed the genre of novel and overturned the theatrical and cinematographic conventions of her times. In a straightforward, simple and minimalist style, the author approaches the subject of love in all its aspects. Her writings, speckled with autobiographical elements, are populated with characters trying to run away from loneliness, giving their life meaning by resorting to absolute love. The Durrasian approach to love had a role in propagating the idea of freedom of speech in France.
