Abstract. The aim of the study is to identify the features of implementation of the cinematic chronotope by means of creating literary cinematic quality in Kazuo Ishiguro’s novels aimed at ensuring an audiovisual and emotional impact of the literary text on the reader. Despite the interest in this writer, at the moment, there is a gap in research on the interaction between literature and cinema based on the material of Kazuo Ishiguro’s creative work. The scientific originality of the study lies in the fact that the identified set of literary means of creating cinematic poetics makes it possible to determine how Kazuo Ishiguro’s work with screenplays, personal interest in cinema and focus on the “reader-viewer” determines his individual style. As a result, the study revealed the implementation of the cinematic code in Kazuo Ishiguro’s texts at several levels, which indicates the artistic value of these means for blurring the boundary between cinema and the modern intellectual novel. The pragmatic function of cinematic techniques in Kazuo Ishiguro’s novels helps to dynamically develop scenes, rhythmically alternate images and paintings, deepens the range of problems and contributes to the visualization of psychological experiences of characters, affects the readers, immersing them in a unique fictional world.
