BECKETT’S MINIMALIST STYLE IN CINEMATIC PRODUCTIONS: FILM

The study analyses the role of minimalism in Samuel Beckett’s play, Film, with regards to its text, its film version, and its cinematic techniques. In this way, the study will introduce minimalism as the basic factor for the birth of the features such as absurdity in Beckett’s drama. The article argues that Beckett is basically a minimalist rather than an absurdist. Moreover, Beckett’s minimalist style provides him the opportunity to establish an immediate relationship between audiences and the artwork. Such an achievement serves him in two ways. Firstly, it enlightens his expressions on such delicate subjects as the idea of self and human existence, which also is one of the main subjects in Film. Secondly, such an immediate relationship could increase the impact of the drama in comparison to those plays that do not apply minimalist techniques.
