This book aims to enhance our appreciation of the modernity of the classical cultures and, conversely, of cinema's debt to ancient Greece and Rome. It explores filmic perspectives on the ancient verbal and visual arts and applies what is often referred to as pre-cinema and what Sergei Eisenstein called cinematism: that paintings, statues, and literature anticipate modern visual technologies. The motion of bodies depicted in static arts and the vividness of epic ecphrases point to modern features of storytelling, while Plato's Cave Allegory and Zeno's Arrow Paradox have been related to film exhibition and projection since the early days of cinema. The book additionally demonstrates the extensive influence of antiquity on an age dominated by moving-image media, as with stagings of Odysseus' arrow shot through twelve axes or depictions of the Golden Fleece. Chapters interpret numerous European and American silent and sound films and some television productions and digital videos.

Les rapports entre littérature et cinéma sont ici compris en termes d’aimantations réciproques. Comment se joue la réception de la littérature par le cinéma, et du cinéma par la littérature, au sein des scénarios, des adaptations, mais aussi dans les échanges de procédés et dans les œuvres d’écrivains-cinéastes ou de cinéastes-écrivains ? Que se passe-t-il quand un tiers s’interpose : musique, chant, ballet, sculpture ou magie ? Quelle mémoire de la littérature hante le cinéma et quelle mémoire du cinéma hante l’écrivain ? Quelles strates de chacun des deux ont dû être oubliées pour que puisse travailler l’imagination de l’écrivain et du cinéaste ? L’ouvrage explore ainsi le cercle par lequel le cinéma se met à l’épreuve de la littérature, et la littérature à l’épreuve du cinéma. Travaillant à partir du roman mais aussi de la poésie, il montre que le cinéma aimanté par la littérature, l’aimante à son tour, la repense, l’interprète, lui donne un sens nouveau et en fait apparaître des aspects que les mots seuls avaient du mal à dégager.
