Abstract
Alex Ross Perry's Listen Up Philip (2014) is not a strict adaptation of Philip Roth, yet it borrows various plot points, characters, narrative devices, and themes from his novels. However, rather than simply translating Roth for the screen, the film opens up a critical dialogue with his work, especially through its use of perspective. Using Gérard Genette's concept of focal character, this article analyzes the ways in which the film "talks back" to Roth and to the male literary establishment.
