Retourner à Tara. Revoir Gone With the Wind (réal. Victor Fleming, 1939)

Abstract

Gone With the Wind’s filmic afterlife seems to belong to Gone With the Wind itself—one reason being the number of reeditions and restorations of the film, as well as its own narrative structure that invite viewers to watch the film again and possibly reevaluate it. Based on studies about re-reading and Stanley Cavell’s reflections on the comedy of remarriage, but also on my own memories of seeing the film repeatedly, this essay will attempt to understand the reasons for this general re-viewing of Gone With the Wind.
