ABSTRACT

Many critics have associated Marguerite Duras’ artistic world with issues of loss, absence, and impossibility existing in the realm of melancholia. However, the film The Truck presents a subtle exploration of a world that cannot be captured in the realm of melancholic imagination. Drawing on Walter Benjamin’s thoughts on the storyteller, this study first explores how the space of The Truck is related to the oral tradition, which is led by the voice. This voice, in conjunction with the ontological ability of the camera, opens up to a world beyond the subjectivity of the author. The landscape in this film evokes a sense of absence through the separation of voice and image. This landscape is that of atheism as “a retreat of the divine” proposed by Jean-Luc Nancy. In conclusion, this world of The Truck, which has been worked on between literature and film, offers a landscape of atheism, and this landscape is connected to a certain world outlook. It can be called the openness of the world.
