L’INTERTEXTUALITÉ DANS L’ADAPTATION CINÉMATOGRAPHIQUE DE L’ŒUVRE LITTÉRAIRE
INTERTEXTUALITY IN FILM ADAPTATION OF LITERARY WORKS

Summary/Abstract: In this article I intend to approach various aspects concerning the “translation” of literatures into film and the variety of transformation requested by this kind of modern adaptation. The first part of the article intends to give an answer to questions such as how can texts change into filmic image, what makes fiction become film, how could one make the translation from words to image? In a second section of my paper I will focus on the controversies raised by the relations established between literatures and cinematography, with a focus on the issue of fidelity of the cinematic expression to the literary source, the restriction the concept of fidelity supposes and the power of innovation of the cinematography.
