Summary/Abstract: The text examines the phenomenon of film adaptation of a literary text as a recontextualization and readaptation of idea concepts that transforms the original piece of work. The adaptation is analyzed by its property to change the existing dominant ideas, thus becoming a tool for reconceptualization and even ideological redaction. This property is depicted by examining adaptations of literary works that challenge the perceptions of women: “Eva on the third floor” (1982) by Darina Gerova and “Seven Angry Women” (1999) by Mariya Stankova. The analyses of the films demonstrates the changes that apply after the bending of a text in favor of some kind of concept or ideology is done.
