"One must make films with this knowledge: there's no point anymore. Let film meet its end, that's the only cinema."

The Darkroom contains the script for Marguerite Duras's 1977 radically experimental film Le camion (The Truck). Between images of a truck in motion, juxtaposed voiceovers, and cutaways to Duras in conversation with Gerard Depardieu, Le camion turns the art of film into a means of enabling the viewer to engage multiple faculties-not only the visual and the aural, but also memory, imagination, and desire.

Also included here is a series of short essays in which Duras makes provocative connections between film and textuality, as well as a fascinating dialogue with Michelle Porte. Together amounting to a crucial contribution to the field of film theory, these texts make brilliantly apparent the depth and integrity of Duras's aesthetic, philosophical, and political thinking.
