This work deals with the film adaptation as a transcreation, ie., as a creative interpretation on the part of screenwriter/directors from the source text of Julio Cortázar’s writings. It follows the analysis of literacy’s and film’s language and narrative and how the modern cinema has created a new way of telling stories through visual means. It also addressed the modern literature and cinema in dialogue with the analysis of simulation and mimese through a creative interpretation, and the adaptation as an intertextual palimpsest. Finally we conducted an analysis of the stories that served as inspiration to the directors who made a transcreative adaptation from Cortázar’s works and the films properly.
