Beyond (classical) adaptation
Jindřichová, Markéta ; Mravcová, Marie (advisor) ; Petříček, Miroslav (referee)
Film adaptations are often confronted with criticism that they distort, reduce or picture inaccurately the original. The film was and often still is traditionally treated as an illustration of literary original, and thereby is a priori doomed to be always worse than the original. In my work I focus on such kind of film adaptation, which is an original piece of art and which doesn´t sponge on the literary model, but is rather a mutation in another (audiovisual) media. On example of three specific adaptations, which in my opinion break these criteria, I want to show how filmmakers transform the original text into the peculiar and original film work. The three mentioned adaptations fully utilize their potential (i.e. the possibility of a new organization of time, space, rhythm, character, etc.) and also represent a certain degree of metamorphosis, interpretations, updates, and independence from the original text.

Paris, I Love You
Jindřichová, Markéta ; Bendová, Helena (advisor) ; Čeněk, David (referee)
JINDŘICHOVÁ, M.: Paris, je t'aime. Thematic study. Bachelor's thesis. Academy of performing arts in Praque. Film and TV school. Audiovisual studies. Supervisor Mgr. Helena Bendová.
Key words: Paris, je t'aime, omnibus feature, representaion of city in motion pictures, authorial style, french cinematography, thematic study
My bachelor's thesis deals with a thematic analysis of a omnibus feature called "Paris, Je T'aime". The basic concept of this movie is that in every short story there should appear some love theme (in any form). The text contains an interpretation of partial fragments (both content and formal) as well as interpretation of the whole film itself. I am comparing different ways of how directors are dealing with the main motive in the same way as transitions between each narratives are resolved. Each story takes place in one of the Parisian quarters, Arrondissements as they are called, and - with regards to the main concept ? handles love in it's own way. Each director coped with the short footage of six minutes differently. Some stories are brilliant, same failures. In the end the whole movie looks like an incoherent anthology of unrelated pieces. This film misses an authorial overview which would offer some meaning to these fragments and would create a compact piece.
