Abstract(s)
The aim of this study is to analyse the project
(Beckett on Film) that adapted Happy Days, one of Beckett’s
plays, written between 8th October 1960 and 14th May 1961
to the screen. A special attention is given to the strong visual
features and to the simultaneous human and unreal nature of
Beckett’s characters. Finally, it is given a perception on the
Beckettian worldwide panorama, which now includes a
project on film that made Beckett’s wishes of not having
variances from what he created prevail.
