Zeszłego roku w Marienbadzie jako kino-wieść
Last Year in Marienbad as a Ciné-roman

Summary/Abstract: Last Year in Marienbad appeared in 1961 almost simultaneously in two different forms – the film by Alain Resnais and the ciné-roman by Alain Robbe-Grillet issued by Les Éditions de Minuit. This article endeavours to bring the reader closer to the phenomenon of the ciné-roman as an obscure textual-visual form that enters into convoluted relations with assorted literary genres, on the one hand, and with ways of narrating and presentation characteristic for the cinema, on the other hand. The author is interested in the sources of the ciné-roman, which she perceives both in selected phenomena of inter-war mass-scale culture and in the theoretical and practical quests of the avant-garde. Another objective is an analysis of the text by Robbe-Grillet from the vantage point of the narrative strategies applied by him in the light of reflections concerning the nouveau roman and the theories of the cinematic and literary image.
