In the late 1970s, Marguerite Duras was at an impasse and embarked on a bold new experiment. Combining narration, dialogue, notes, and unused footage from her recent films, she remade them entirely in text, creating a cycle of six interlocking pieces, which explore the labyrinthine nature of desire and the mutability of the self. Evocstive and philosophical, Six Films marks the English-language debut of Duras' effort to merge two art forms in one lyrical and beguiling book.
