Summary/Abstract: A review of Marek Hendrykowski’s book "Współczesna adaptacja filmowa" ["Contemporary Film Adaptation"] (2014). The reviewer lists the most important arguments and insights of the book in the order they appear in the volume (which is organised in three parts). First of all Pławuszewski focuses on the findings of the author related to the history of film (for example on the changing models of film adaptations), then he discusses selected elements of theoretical discussion present in Hendrykowski’s work (e.g. seven mechanisms of adaptation), and then considers the part of the book which focuses on the “contemporary” theory and adaptation practice (with a focus on the situation in Poland, which is far, according to Hendrykowski, from the ideal).
