Resumen
Taking The Age of Innocence (Martin Scorsese, 1993) and The Portrait of a Lady (Jane Campion, 1996) as case-studies, this paper looks at the ways in which the contemporary film adaptation subverts the realist text by playing upon the iconic conventions of period drama. By close-reading the particularities of the miseen-scène through a theoretical grid informed by psychoanalytic and feminist categories, these adaptations emerge as intertextual artifacts that incorporate contemporary discourses. The film adaptation appears thus caught in the double bind of nostalgia and irony that underlies postmodern appropriations of the past, ultimately providing an adequate framework for a reconstruction of the film ‘auteur’ in the light of abstract various rewriting practices.
