REMAKE AND ADAPTATION IN KENNETH BRANAGH’S FILM SLEUTH

Summary/Abstract: The present paper centres upon a discussion of Kenneth Branagh’s 2007 remake of Sleuth in comparison to the 1972 adaptation of Anthony Shaffer’s play. The paper discusses the main strategies which contribute to the creation of the remake, such as celebrity intertextuality or update. It also focuses on the way in which the remake replays the mise-en-abîme dimension of the play on the level of filmic strategies.
