| Summary: | Sophocles’ Oedipus the King is considered the prototype of modern detective stories. Alain Robbe-Grillet, in his novel Les Gommes, transforms the story of Oedipus into a typical noir and William Hjortsberg uses it as a hypotext for his ‘demonic’ crime novel Falling Angel. On this book Alan Parker based his movie Angel Heart, where the main elements of the myth of Oedipus are rendered through original solutions, closely linked to the peculiarities of film language. |
