Her publications include two monographs on Patrick Modiano, as well as articles on French popular literature, film, and culture. Notes Notes Viewers comments on Allociné.com For Robert Stam, fidelity is not necessarily desirable (3); Kamillia Elliot also reminds us that an adaptation is often seen as “theoretically impossible” (221) and that “fidelity to the spirit of a text is almost always accompanied by an instance on the necessary infidelity to its letter or norm” (224). All translations, film review and novel, are mine. While such manipulations exist, it would take a special effort to a filmmaker to not show a protagonist's features. The dubbed version exists and has been shown in France. Alain Corneau speaks to this in the interviews that accompany the DVD version.
