The work of Marguerite Duras comprises seventeen "texts-films" distributed throughout its filmic period from 1969 to 1985. These texts guides of films constitute a particular form of filmic writing which utilizes three different modes of expression. Located at the three decade old border, the text-films being studied here, Detruire ditelle, (1969), Nathalie Granger (1972), Agatha (1981) differently ask the same question of the literary, theatrical and filmic genre all while escaping from it. The "texte-film" which is primarily plural and plurifunctional is showed here in three states, at three moments of its continuous creation. In a rejection of the traditional structures of transposition of writing to film, they challenge authorities as varied as the dialogical form, the dramatic text, the scenario. Stages of a long renouncement of writing or revivals of a creativity unceasingly searching for new ways to express itself, the "texts-films" studied here are holding essential keys to understanding the very whole work of Marguerite Duras.
