In this master's thesis, the concept of the „nouveau roman trend“ proposed by András Bálint Kovács is explored, and films and novels belonging to this trend are analysed in order to demonstrate a set of stylistic determinants that characterize the aforementioned trend. For the purpose of analysis, three (new) novels – Jealousy (Alain Robbe-Grillet), Moderato Cantabile (Marguerite Duras), and Foreign Bodies (Jean Cayrol) – as well as three films by Alain Resnais – Hiroshima Mon Amour, Last Year at Marienbad, and Muriel, or The Time of Return – have been selected. Through the examination of these highlighted novels (also Robbe-Grillet’s theoretical framework) and films, clear parallels in stylistic approaches between the two artistic mediums will be revealed, further indicating that a similar system of stylistic choices is evident in Andrei Tarkovsky's filmography. The research aims to expand Kovács' insights through a further analysis of examples and demonstrate how other filmmakers have embraced the ethos of the new novel by employing similar (or analogous) stylistic techniques in their own films. The fundamental approach seeks to create a contextual framework for interpreting films within the domain of the new novel trend. This thesis is intended for those interested in the subject of the new novel, the new novel trend in film, intradiegetic temporal manipulations and modernist cinema in general.
