Description
Taking into account the parallel rise and development of cinema in the Arab world in the twentieth century with that of the Arabic novel, this article analyzes the relationship between film and novel through a study of Muhammad Shukri Jamil's 1979 film Al-Aswar, which adapted 'Abd al-Rahman Majid al-Rubay'i's 1976 novel A1-Qamar w'al-Aswar. The author explores the impact of the novel's political nature on the process of adaptation, and the transformation of its narrative through the rhetorical and reflexive style of Jamil's adaptation and filmic techniques. **********
