Summary/Abstract: A lesser-known episode was that of the rediscovery by the cinematographic means of the works of I. L. Caragiale at his first (!) centenary from 1952. The coordinates of this restitution have already historically been described, but our study proposes on that base a new critical „reading” in the key of cultural anthropology. This will highlight the artistic resistance of Caragiale's satires to the cinematographic attempt of „agitprop” to parasite the works of the classic to the Romanian theater, too.
