LE FILM LA 25EME HEURE COMME «ACTE DE RUPTURE IDENTITAIRE»
THE 25TH HOUR MOVIE AS AN “ACT OF IDENTITY RUPTURE”

Summary/Abstract: The French sociologist Daniel Calin defined “the act of identity rupture” as the fundamental moment of leaving, the decision of leaving emigrants take. All the works of Constantin Virgil Gheorghiu, the Romanian writer exiled in Paris, evoke, reconstruct and deconstruct this fundamental act of leaving the native land and giving up to the primary identity. It seems that Gheorghiu’s work had a tragic destiny because, in 1967, when it was released Henri Verneuil’s movie The 25th Hour, adapted from the famous novel of the Romanian author, the Communist authorities did not allow the movie to be shot in Romania. Thus, “the act of identity rupture” can be observed at differences level, sometimes emphasized by the visions of writers and directors, the space representing the factor that orientates and changes the primary vision.
