GOGOL’s CREATION IN POSTMODERN FILM INTERPRETATIONS
The article focuses on the problem of relationship between Gogol's works and film postmodernism. As you know, the postmodern versions are not at all the last among Gogol`s adaptations. The reason for this is the precedent of the writer's texts. Both contemporary postmodern film adaptations and film adaptations of the past years are studied. The report is from «The Evening on the Eve of Ivan Kupala» (Yu. G. Ilyenko) and «Mirgorod» (M. G. Ilyenko) to the director's works in the 2000s. - «The Case of Dead Souls» (P. S. Lungin), «The Viy 3D» (O. A. Stepchenko), trilogy «Gogol» (E. P. Baranov). Unlike the first two films, the subsequent ones can rightfully be attributed to postmodernism. Each of the adaptations is described depending on the peculiarities of the development of cinematography. The concepts of author`s cinema, improperly-direct subjectivity, cinematic absurdity are indicated. Consideration of Gogol`s poetics is particularly significant. This poetics is reflected through separate motifs - motifs of travel, madness, detective motifs (rumors), and also images (narrator, evil spirits) and details (clothes, food). It should be noted, however, that all of these are portrayed specifically. Through the game. The specificity of postmodern interpretations (including those that contain selected techniques of postmodernism) is to transfer the emphasis from the content to the form of the work. This is undoubtedly an important takeaway from the article.
