Summary/Abstract: As in any case of translations from one medium into another, the specific process of adaptation faces its own difficulties, and, in the end, the result of such an endeavor may or may not constitute a success. In the case of Cormac McCarthy, whose prose is famously distinctive, there have been a few cinematic adaptations, but from among them, the present article will deal with what is by far the most popular of McCarthy’s adaptations, the Coen brothers’ No Country for Old Men, by focusing on the mechanisms and choices which make this film such a popular and critical success.
