Summary/Abstract: Literary work is the source of inspiration for a cinematic adaptation. The director, technical and artistic orchestrator, takes both "human model" and "society model" from the opera, creating the illusion of a real world.Among the ways of making a filming are: the detail image, the soundtrack, the concise form of the dialogue, the actor's interpretation.The cinematographic creation is more valuable as more truthful the actors’ representation is. The goal is that the actor identifies with the character he plays, considering him another facet of his own personality. The displayed emotion, reflection is rendered authentically, unequivocally, with the force to propagate it to the limit of the viewers' real life.The advantages of the cinematographic adaptation compared to the literary creation are: the presence of subjective time, the inversion of time and its correlation with space, the amplification of the drama through the introspection of the character.
