| Özet: | In 1921, nineteen years after his staging of La Terre, André Antoine shot a film based on Zola’s famous novel. It may be tempting to see in this second adaptation of La Terre a sign of exhaustion on the part of a director already in his sixties. On the contrary, the film represents the culmination of his previous research. Without denying the specifically cinematographic dimension of the film, this paper aims to stress the continuity with the 1902 stage adaptation. A number of choices made almost two decades earlier concerning both the script and the staging reappear in the film, while the weak points in the earlier adaptation, of which Antoine was well aware, are remedied in his cinematographic version. Thus, La Terre benefited from both Antoine’s theatrical experience and the medium of the cinema. |
