From Novel To Film: The Remains Of The Day And The Art Of Adaptation, Shirley S. Richardson
Honors Theses, 1963-2015
Both novelist and film-maker have stories to tell and both create a vision of their stories for their readers and viewers, one with words on a page, the other with pictures and spoken dialogue.

In creating comprehensive dystopias that address both types of dystopia, Gilliam has opened up spaces for resistence to Baudrillard's hyperreality and even defies the irreversibility that Baudrillard claims is inevitable.
