Patrice Blouin's 'Magie industrielle' proposes blockbuster cinema as literary model

In a review published in artpress issue 434 (June 2016, p. 83), Patrice Blouin's book 'Magie industrielle' (published by Hélium / Actes Sud) is discussed. The review explores Blouin's argument that blockbuster films—with their shaky scripts, explosive green-screen pyrotechnics, and digitally augmented bodies—could provide a program for literature. The text examines how these cinematic elements might be translated into literary form, challenging traditional narrative structures.
