Bulbachynska O. Cinematography of Yevhen Hutsalo’s novels of 1980–1990s

The work summarizes both theoretical observations on the means and methods of cinema and their implementation in literary work, and a critical reception of the work of Y. Hutsalo; signs of cinematic thinking of the writer are investigated; realized types and outlined functions of editing in Y. Hutsalo’s novels are outlined; the evolution of the author 's cinematic thinking is traced. The work critically analyzes the discussion on the synthesis of literature and cinema. The factors of fundamental difference between these types of art (the nature of perception, means of expression, etc.) and the grounds for determining their strong connection (the potential of the figurative world, the multiplicity of interpretations) are also understood. The study argues that as a result of the synthesis of arts, a literary work acquires a new distinctive feature - the expansion of pictorial and expressive means, which increases the energy potential of the artistic word to the reader.
