Drawing on the theory of filmic modes in literature, this presentation will delineate how elements traditionally associated with the film medium are adapted into Bret Easton Ellis’s Glamorama, a novel that offers a vivid portrayal of celebrity culture. Ellis uses filmic narrative techniques to mirror the highly visual medium of film with the visual-centric nature of the celebrity world depicted in the novel, as he also offers a critique of a society obsessed with image and spectacle. While the theoretical framework will provide a foundation for analyzing the novel’s interplay between literary and cinematic forms, by presenting specific examples from Glamorama, this paper will demonstrate which filmic narrative strategies are used. These are reminiscent of, among others, an establishing shot to situate scenes within a broader visual context, montage mirrored by quick, successive descriptions or events edited together to condense time, space, and information, or a soundtrack, adding an auditory dimension to the predominantly visual narrative.
