Résumé
Cet article illustre le rapport entre cinéma et littérature dans l’oeuvre d’une des cinéastes « nouvelle vague » de Hongkong. Acclamée internationalement, la réalisatrice Ann Hui a adapté un roman populaire d’arts martiaux de Jin Yong, Romance du livre et de l’épée, en deux films : Romance du livre et de l’épée et Princesse Parfum (1987). Ne consistant pas simplement en la reproduction du roman originel, les deux films gagnent en signification par leur contraste par rapport à l’oeuvre de Jin Yong.
Abstract
This paper demonstrates that in the case of at least one Hongkong new wave director's work, the relationship between film and literature is of great importance. Internationally acclaimed Hongkong director Ann Hui has adapted a popular martial arts novel by Jin Yong, Romance of Book and Sword, into two films, Romance of Book and Sword and its sequel Princess Fragrance(1987). Hui does not simply try to duplicate Jin Yong's original narrative; in fact Romance and Princess Fragrance gain in meaning from their contrasting relationship to Jin Yong's novel.
